you can do it one of two ways:
run dhcpconfig, and configure your local machine that way
or run sys-unconfig and set up dhcp that way. I used the second way and it worked great. it modified all of the files and interfaces for me.
some who monitor this site will have you edit all of the files, but I personally like the path of least resistance (even though a lot can be said about manually editing files).
hope this helps.
