We're way off topic here, but here's a few quick pointers: See dhclient.conf(5): consider something like: supersede host-name "my.custom.hostname" or send host-name "my.custom.hostname"; It really depends on how that DHCP server is configured... > I think a lot of the problem is not understanding how to define a home > network behind an ADSL-modem/router/switch, so I'm configuring things > badly, and that's causing failure. > > Where can I go to fully educate myself on how to configure my > ADSL-modem/router/switch and also FreeBSD behind that router? By default, FreeBSD used the ICS DHCP client. It's called 'dhclient', it (and it's config file) have a manpage. In my case, I disabled the DHCP server on my ADSL-modem/router/switch, and instead chose to run my own server. The classic counterpart to dhclient is 'dhcpd', which is available via the isc-dhcp3 port. This let me side-step the questions surrounding the configuration of the ADSL-modem's server... 'Fully educate' is otherwise beyond the scope of this document. :) Good luck... > -- > Bob > echo Mail fefsensmrrjyaheeoceoq\! | tr "jefroq\!"
