1. Remove the affected interface from /etc/hosts.
2. Remove the affected /etc/hostname.[interface] file.
3. Create an empty file called /etc/hostname.[interface] file
#touch /etc/hostname.[interface] file
4. create an empty file called /etc/dhcp.[interface].
# touch /etc/dhcp.[interface]
Where [interface] is the interface that will be the setup for DHCP requests.
5. ifconfig the affected interface down:
# ifconfig [interface] down
6. Reboot the machine.
Upon rebooting, the directory /etc/dhcp will be created that will have a number of files which, together define the DHCP configuration for this machine. DO NOT TOUCH THESE FILES. Note that there will be a change made to the /etc/hosts file. This entry was added by DHCP and should not be removed.
