I'm trying to attach my FreeBSD box with two NICs (rl0 & xl0) to the net for experimental purposes. The fact is, that despite my cable provider allows up to 3 dynamic ip adresses for a single cable modem, I'm experiencing problems getting the ip address of the last interface through the dhcp client. There isn't any kind of problem with the first interface attached, it pings ok everywhere. I've checked boths NICs looking for malfunction, but they work fine. I've tried to communicate the remaining interface to the DHCP server through a different port, but it doesn't work. Moreover, if I try to directly obtain an ip through the shell ( /sbin/./dhclient xl0 ), previously killing the dhclient for rl0, I obtain the IP adress but dozens of anoying messages begin to appear on screen. Is it possible tha kernel doesn't allow two interfaces with dynamic ip adresses in the same media? Could you help me? Thanks in advance.
