Hello,

in /etc/rc.conf you put a line like this:
ifconfig_xl0="DHCP"
(wher xl0 is you put your outside interface)
and then in /etc/dhclient.conf you put this:

send host-name "ab12345-a"

(where ab12345-a is you put you hostname)

Good luck..

L.B.

Onderwerp: FTP install via rogers@home - anyone successfully done this?


Hi,

I'm trying to install via FTP over a rogers@home cable connection. Rogers
uses DHCP, but also requires that the hostname (ie: cr123456-a) be present
when requesting network info. During the install process, this doesn't seem
to be possible. Am I wrong or is there some way to get around this?

Thanks,
Matt
