I have some problem I think related with a DNS problem. So to perform some tries, I setup one of my machine as a DHCP client. This machine is running FREEBSD 4.2-RELEASE. So I added in my rc.conf: ifconfig_ed0="DHCP" Everything looks fine (but sendmail who is waiting for a long period of time, I will check that later on) but if I look on my DHCP server (a 3com LanModem) I cannot see this machine as registred and others machine cannot reach it because of a DNS failure. At a first glance this was not a big problem until I switched on my very new printer which has a network adapter and is configured as a DHCP client. At this moment, I had a message on all my FreeBSD machines on my network saying : Jan 5 19:46:38 greatoak /kernel: arp: 192.168.1.5 moved from 00:00:1c:00:cc:43 to 00:80:77:31:be:32 on ed0 192.168.1.5 is the IP adress of the FreeBSD machine configured as a DHCP client. 00:00:1c:00:cc:43 is the MAC of the FreeBSD machine as DHCP client 00:80:77:31:be:32 is the MAC of the printer And if I look at my DHCP server, then I see that my Printer is listed in the list of workstations. In fact, it looks like that Windows machine and my printer are automatically listed but FreeBSD's are not. I have search in -questions archive and made a request on gnats database with no success.
