W. Ballantine" Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hi, I have cable modem service via RCN, and they recently changed the address, so my machine is on a 216 net and the gateway is on a 10.17 net. While this arrangement works for win98, with not ISP provided software, it doesn't work with FreeBSD. So to try and connect to the net, I downloaded the latest version of dhcp from ISC, compiled, installed, and tried to run it. Since I'm clueless about dhcp, I'm hoping that someone can point me in the right direction. The scripts are the standard default scripts, and I'm not running a firewall. tinlizzie $ /sbin/dhclient ep0 Internet Software Consortium DHCP Client 2.0 Copyright 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999 The Internet Software Consortium.
