Typing udhcpc should assign an IP number to
your computer

udhcpc only works if there is a DHCP server
listening on the network.

and also add the default gateway (DNS server)

The default gateway is not the DNS server. The
default gateway simply routes traffic from one
network to another (eg from you home network
to the internet). The DNS server is different
-- it converts alphanumeric internet addresses
(eg slashdot.org) to numerical IP addresses
(eg 216.34.181.45).

I assumed he was using a router to reach the internet.
I followed your instructions once on setting up a linux computer as default gateway, and sharing a phone modem connection.
Could I run a DHCP server on that computer instead?
(Not that two of us really need to share a modem connection).
Someone gave me a little box that is supposed to let you share dialup connection. Maybe it runs linux. I never got it to work.
Sindi

Of course you can run a DNS server on the system
that is providing the default gateway. Or you
could run a DHCP server. Or any other kind of
server (eg a HTTP server for remote configuration
of the gateway). In that case the address of the
default gateway and the DNS server and the DHCP
server and the HTTP server will all be the same.

Cheers,

= your router.

These mails are posted on the web. Do you want your phone numbers
included?
