And, when I've booted Knoppix in the past, it showed up, too. Also, when I start Apache (2.0) I receive a message "Could not determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.0.1 for ServerName.

I'm running FBSD 4.9 on a machine which is connected to a router (Netgear) that provides DHCP services. The FBSD box gets the IP correctly (assigned based on the MAC address), but the router never sees it by name. I have the name of the machine in the hosts file and rc.conf, but the router never gets the name back. Can anyone help? What makes you think the router *should* get the name back? _______________________________________________ [1]freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list [2]http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [3]"freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" References 1. mailto:freebsd-questions@freebsd.org 2. http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions 3. mailto:freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org
