During install, when chosing download site, and then using dhcp configuring, if dhclient is unable to configure the card, then you might as well reboot the machine, because you canīt do a manual configure afterwards. Does this sound familiar to anyone? I tried to get a lease from a Solaris DHCP server, which doesnīt seem to work very well (works fine for Linux, Windows) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ /\/\orten $eeberg, Systems Consultant @ Merkantildata - Enterprise Solutions #echo 'System Administrators suck :)' > /dev/console To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
