In-Reply-To: Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Okay, I had to rebuild my kernal before DHCPD worked, which I did. DHCPD started, I rebooted my hub and nothing showed up in log - i assume you mean the regular syslog in /var/log/messages, right? Do I have to set anything in dhcpd.conf? I have something but I am not sure if it is correct. Thanks for your help. Loren On Fri, 10 Dec 1999, Loren Koss wrote: > I'll try that and post my results.. Thank you very much..
