Information:
DHCP offers a way to automatically assign IP addresses to systems on your network. It takes the pain and hassle out of network management.
Using DHCP is very simple on the client side.
Most distributions allow you to configure your network interface using DHCP, which automatically gets your IP address and DNS information, and sets the gateway.
If you want an easy way to connect your
local area network to the 'Net, this is it.
It doesn't get much easier!
