Or > could it be some other?? Hi Keith, I'm not sure I understand your question. Do you want to find out what IP address was assigned to your FreeBSD system by a DHCP server? If so, there's several ways: ifconfig interface where interface is the name of your interface e.g. ed0, rl0, etc or more /var/db/dhclient.leases | grep address should do it. Or, are you trying to find the address of the DHCP server itself? If so, try: more /var/db/dhclient.leases | grep server Dru To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
