The message I am getting is "Can't bind to dhcp address. Address already in use." I am presently searching on any and all search engines for clues as to what this may mean, but I have not found anything as of yet. This means that a DHCP client program is already running on your system. Do a 'ps -ax | grep dh' to see if dhclient is already running. If it is, then kill it and start dhclient manually. -- Matt Emmerton To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
