Is there a command that says DONT use the ifcfg-eth0 setting(s) that basically have a static address and start the network in DHCP. I dont want to disturb the static settings in ifcfg-eth0 or re-enter them once my DHCP setting is done... I just want to temporarily run with DHCP (I'm on different network than the static setup). Yes I can copy files and then recopy files and all that - but is there a command that just says startup the network in DHCP and dont change anything in the files. Jerry

My ethernet has one set config and then I might do as I need. My 'regular' connection is wireless.
