<para>The dhcp package contains both the client and server programs for
|
|
|
|
|
DHCP. dhclient (the client) is useful for connecting your computer to a
|
|
|
|
|
network which uses DHCP to assign network addresses. dhcpd (the server)
|
|
|
|
|
is useful for assigning network addresses on your private network.</para>

|
|
|
