A fix for not receiving an IP address using DHCP

After having updated from MacOS X 10.1 to 10.2, my G3 was "almost" unable to receive an IP address using DHCP (almost because it took sometimes several hours to get one). My ISP is comhem.se in Sweden, and they where unable to help me. But looking around on the net, I found that some other problems concerning DHCP were solved setting the "DHCP Client ID."

So the solution is: Enter a DHCP Client ID even if the ISP says they don't require one! I experienced the same problem when using 10.3...
