dhcp config

I have a b2600 HPUX workstation running 11.11. We have moved to another location on a temporary basis and I have enabled the dhcp client. When I reboot I get a message saying it cannot communicate with the dhcp server.
Is there anything else I need to do to the /etc/rc.config.d/netconf file other than setting the DHCP_ENABLE variable to DHCP_ENABLE=1?

Thanks

Re: dhcp config

Do you have a DHCP server on the same subnet as your client? By default, broadcasts do not propagate beyond the subnet unless specifically alowed by the router/gateway.
If it ain't broke, I can fix that.

Hi!

If i want to change my static IP to DHCP ... how can i do that?

I tried with set_parms initial but cannot get DHCP enabled :)
