dhcpcd is the DHCP client daemon. It is apparently not always necessary in order for a machine to make use of DHCP.

Reference

Examples

If DNS seems to be trying to go through the wrong network adapter (e.g. one that isn't connected to the LAN) in a multi-adapter system (e.g. you can ping IP addresses but domain names cannot be resolved): 

dhcpcd eth1

...where eth1 is the name of the correct adapter to use.

Notes

My installation of Ubuntu Dapper, which definitely uses DHCP, does not seem to have dhcpcd installed. --Woozle 14:42, 20 August 2006 (EDT)
