5. ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.1

You don't do both. Either set the address
manually (ifconfig eth0 ...) or get the
address from the DHCP server (udhcpc eth0)

dhcp (from Slackware) would not work unless I first assigned some address.
Someone else commented on needing to ifconfig eth0 up for udhcpc before
it would work.

dhcp appears to use the /usr/share/udhcpc script (maybe it is a default?). The BL3 script looks like the BL2 one (both from busybox?). The README file has become a man page.

In BL2 running dhcp did not change that first address, it just told me that I could use a different one, which I then assigned manually with ifconfig. I don't understand much of this but somehow it worked. (I did practice first with wireless routers at home).

Please clarify. Sindi
