I was using RH6.2 for connecting to the internet using a dialup modem. All the other machines in the network were running on Windows and all were assigned static IPs. Now, we have got a cable connection for internet, and we put a Win2000 machine for recieving the net connection. So that machine now acts as a DHCP server and all the other machines obtain IP addresses dynamically from it. But when I tried to make the linux machine to obtain an IP from that DHCP server, it is not working. The interface eth0 is not getting up when set for DHCP. When I configured etho's IP to obtain from DCHP, and then tried ifup etho, it says, gettin IP information for etho, after a few minutes it say failed. Also I cannot even ping the Win2k Server with its IP, if this can be a clue. Can somebody tell me what all changes are to be made exactly to make the Linux machine also part of the same network. My basic requirement for using this Linux is for mailing purpose, to POP mails and send it to corresponding user in the network, ie; sendmail and fetchmail. Any help will be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
