Configuring DHCP Addressing for Ubuntu Linux
Normally the network interface cards are configured during the installation of Linux. However, sometimes certain circumstances require you to change the addressing scheme of your system. This article will take you step by step through the process of configuring your system to use DHCP for obtaining its IP addressing information. Ubuntu has some very nice GUI tools to allow you to change your settings with the click of the mouse but this article will focus on how to make your changes from a command line in the event that you don’t have the GUI installed. Also, this tutorial is Ubuntu/Debian centric but the principles can be applied to many other Linux distributions, especially any that are based on Debian.
