I suggest to use "set_parms initial" and set everything right way

The key to this is /etc/rc.config.d/netconf file. Edit it with this section looking like this ..
....
IP_ADDRESS[0]=""
SUBNET_MASK[0]="255.255.255.255"
BROADCAST_ADDRESS[0]=""
INTERFACE_STATE[0]=""
DHCP_ENABLE[0]=1
....
Then simply reboot the workstation. With IP_ADDRESS[0] set to null this should work.

Thanx Guys I cud do it but with some minor changes like
#inetd -c
#cp /usr/newconfig/etc/rc.config.d/netconf /etc/rc.config.d/.
and rebooting the m/c.
But the Hp Wks says after rebooting No DHCP server fOund since the DHCP server is a NT Server,
any help on this !!!!

thanx

Hi Asif,
Normally you only should modify your /etc/rc.config.d/netconf file and reboot your machine and it will automatically get IP address from your DHCP server. But according to your situation,I wonder if your workstation and DHCP server in the same network segment? (For example, they can be separated by a Router)If so , you must config a DHCP relay.
