Something like dhclient -d -s 192.168.1.100 This should force it to stay in the foreground and you can see what is happening. I forget where dhclient logs. I think /var/log/messages...but if you've been muckin' around a lot you may have to grep for the dhclient entries. -- ethericalzen@xxxxxxxxx Life is a prison, death is a release
