how to run udcpc

[satpal parmar]

Hi Roberto;

          Thanks for your prompt and detailed mail. My  uneducated guessis
that udhcpc-script is not required if you are looking for DNS and other
settings.In my case I am testing the system in network where DHCP client are
working fine in my host system.Under these situation only

udhcpc -b -i eth0 shud work. but it goes into infinite loop .

What you say ?

Thanks once again.
