This release that I installed includes DHCP server, relay agent, and _client_. So, it does have client part. Naturally, there is no man pages on it. >> The external DHCP server should provide your FreeBSD client with its IP, default router, DNS domain and server address so you should have to do this. << Yeah. I was supposed to add that info in /etc/resolv.conf. Right? e.g. domain hewitt.com nameserver xx.xx.xx.xx nameserver xx.xx.xx.xx nameserver xx.xx.xx.xx To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
