Hi All, I'm wanting to tell my centos box to get a dynamic ip via cli. I know I can do "ifconfig eth0 up", or "ifconfig eth0 191.168.100.35 netmask 255.255.255.0", but, how do I tell it to send the dhcp 0.0.0.0 broadcast to the DHCP server? Cheers. Mark Sargent.

Hi All, I went and bought a new headset, as I thought the old one,(almost 5yrs old), was no good. But, when trying to skype, I still can't be heard.

Hi All, I've just installed Samba on a Linux box, and can see the Windows box attempting connections, but, when inputting the username/password, I keep getting the same user/pass prompt window.
