Re @Home service.

From what I gather, the dhcpd server @home uses will not return
any info unless you provide the hostname @home assigned to you.

For me (in Portland OR), my hostname is "c589xxx-a", so I put
the following line into my dhclient.conf file. 

send host-name "c589xxx-a";

And then start up dhclient... 

All is right in the @home universe... :)

Regards,

Francis Bruening, 
BSD newbie, and having a ball...

you should just be able to hook your system up and use DHCP to get your
IP.. i don't believe that @Home uses a login program to authenticate
yourself... 

if i'm wrong, please feel free to correct me on this.
