Hi - I am using FreeBSD 4.3 on a IBM Laptop 350C with a Ethernet PCMCIA card from 3COM (3c589D). Upon booting the device is recogized. Following output: ep0: <3com Ethernet III 3C589> at port 0x240_0x24f irq3 slot 0 on pccard 0 ep0: Ethernet address 00:60:08:8A:45:73 Now I want to use a DHCP server to get an IP address. I type dhclient ep0 and first I got an error message somthing about rtinit. After a while (between 1 and two minutes) I did get an IP address. Our Sysadmin checked serverside and said that the computer requests an IP, gets one, accepts it, and requests it again. One time it worked almost instantly without any error message, and from now I on I get a new error message: ifconfig: ioctl (SIOCDIFADDR): Can't assign requested address And I don't get an IP address anymore. Anybody have an idea? CU L8er, Nick To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
