I noticed that each time I restarted my os I didn’t get an IP and I had to start dhclient manually. So how do you get dhclient to start at startup?

Here are the steps you need to do:
1. vi etc/init.d/local

2. Make the file executable

3. Put it into the autostart

The smaller the number is the earlier the file will be executed.
