But if the server is rebooted they loose their connection to the server. I think this is because they also are NFS-mounting an exported /usr from the server. However: The clients get their IP, netmask and gateway when rebooted but NOT their hostname. That is the dhcp-client say New IP:192.168.0.xx etc but on the line before that ifconfig protests: 'Cannot assign requested address'. The clients are also not pingable if the server goes down and up again. To get the hostname back and normal IPsettings I have to reboot the clients a second time. After that everything is back to normal. Isn't that strange? (oh, and is there anything to do about it?) /Micke ---------------------------------- Michael Josefsson, MSEE mj@isy.liu.se This message was sent by XFMail running on FreeBSD 4.3-STABLE ---------------------------------- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
