I have it dual booting Win2k/FreeBSD4.5. When I boot in win2k the DNS does get updated, but when I boot in FreeBSD, the DNS does not. The interface is DHCP with dynamic DNS running on an MS implementation. Now, as an added clue, it used to be that the Win2k boot would not update the DNS entry, so I took it to the support center (which is committed to supporting MSWin, but only barely tolerant of anything else). The fix they employed there was to pull up the DNS configuration panel and set some sort of domain suffix list to a set of names they had handy which looked like "xxx.com yyy.xxx.com zzz.com" and reboot Win2k and after that, DNS updated. Has anyone experienced this? Can anyone suggest a possible modification to the FreeBSD conf files which emulates the fix they did for win2k? Thanks, -r PS not subscribed. Reply personally.
