I am using a notebook (5.2 on a Thinkpad T40). Sometimes I move it from one room to another (managed by different dhcp server), and I cannot figure out a fast way to tell the dhclient(8) to renew my address. I read the manuals. It seems the only way I can do is to: weiwu>su (su to root) #setenv interface fxp0 #setenv reason RENEW #dhclient-script (.... dhclient output) Isn't there a faster way to do it? I am courious why not dhclient be designed to just renew the address upon receiving a signal, say INT? _________________________________________________________________ 享用世界上最大的电子邮件系统— MSN Hotmail。 http://www.hotmail.com
