DHCP IP address

[Clinton MacDonald]

Mr. Jean-Achille:

I have a Wallstreet PowerBook, too. A very nice computer!

That is good.

Please tell us what was the error message?

What are you trying to do? If I understand you, you do not need DHCP 
installed on the computer (your Wallstreet) that you are trying to add 
to your network. The DHCP address will be supplied by another computer. 
For instance, if your Internet connection is through DSL or a cable 
modem, the IP address will be supplied automatically by the network. Is 
this what you are trying to do? You should not need to set up 
dhcp-client on your Wallstreet.

It is possible that you have a different problem, and that your 
Wallstreet is fine. Perhaps your DSL or cable modem is not working 
correctly, or you have a bad Ethernet cable.

For anyone to help you, we will need to understand exactly what you are 
trying to do. Please tell us more about your computer and network 
connection.

Good luck!

Best wishes,
Clint
