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... -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-stable@freebsd.org [mailto:owner-freebsd-stable@freebsd.org]On Behalf Of Ben Lovett Sent: Sunday, October 03, 1999 2:57 PM To: High Voltage Cc: FreeBSD-Stable Subject: Re: @Home Connect. 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. ben On Sun, 3 Oct 1999, High Voltage wrote: > Hi > > Does anyone know where I can find info on how to set FreeBSD 3.3 > Stable up for a @Home connect?
