# <a name="DHCP_and_the_Hurd"> </a> DHCP and the Hurd
No DHCP client has been ported to the Hurd yet.

The beginnings of a DHCP translator is available in the Hurd sources on Savannah: [hurd/trans/pump.c](http://savannah.gnu.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs/hurd/hurd/trans/pump.c?rev=1.3&content-type=text/vnd.viewcvs-markup)
Unfortunately our current TCP/IP stack, the pfinet translator, lacks support for the AF\_PACKET interface as well as sending packets with an IP address of 0.0.0.0.
Grant Bowman on bug-hurd:
Herbert Xu (Pump maintainer) told me that to operate correctly, pump
uses the AF_PACKET interface which is only present in 2.2.
Anyone else know the status of getting these compiled and functional?
Neal Walfield on bug-hurd replies:

We need to be able to send to the DHCP server with ip address 0.0.0.0.
