    1.73 +<h3>Dynamic IP - DHCP client udhcpc</h3>
    1.74 +<p>
    1.75 +The DHCP client udhcpc supplied with Busybox uses the 
    1.76 +/usr/share/udhcpc/default.script to get an IP address dynamically at 
    1.77 +boot. It supports various options which you can view with the 
    1.78 +<code>--help</code> option:
    1.79 +</p>
    1.80 +<pre> # udhcpc --help
    1.81 +</pre>
    1.82 +<p>
    1.83 +To disable udhcpc on eth0 or modify the interface (eg eth1), you must
    1.84 +edit the /etc/network.conf file and place the value "no" in the variable DHCP=:
    1.85 +</p>
    1.86 +<pre class="script">

    1.93 +<h3>Static IP - Using a specific address</h3>
    1.94 +<p>
    1.95 +You can specify a fixed IP address to configure at boot time by using
    1.96 +the value "yes" in the variable STATIC=:
    1.97 +</p>
    1.98 +<pre class="script">

   1.101 +STATIC="yes"
   1.102 +</pre>
   1.103 +<p>
   1.104 +For the configuration to work, you must specify an IP address, its subnet
   1.105 +mask, a default gateway (gateway) and DNS server to use. Example:
   1.106 +</p>
