Hello, I have a question about the dhclient:

I'm surfing via a cable modem, therefore I'm using DHCP for assigning
IP-adresses. So I'm starting the dhclient and getting a screen full of
status messages. Then, sometimes I get errormessages like "Error: Network
down" (or like this), but Internet works. These messages aren't very
friendly to me, if I, for example, surf with lynx or am working on a console
(the messages come even to a xterm).
So I ask you: How do I disable these messages?
