dhcp and ydl 3.0.1

[Jonathan Hartje]

The files in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ are the answer. You need to
change ifcfg-etho or ifcfg-eth1 (depending on which one needs to be
dhcp). Look to see which one used to be static and change his protocal
to be dhcp. After that, ifdown/up the device and see if you get new
info. Hope that helps.

But on the ydl router I do get assigned an ip and dns from the dhcp server but when I try to type in the url to the login page in Mozilla (still on the ydl mac of course) I just get host not found or whatever. I can't ping anything. I tried accessing the login page by ip instead of host if something was wrong with the dns, but that doesn't work either.
