I'm a new user of FreeBSD (convert from Linux), and installed 3.3-RELEASE last week. I'm a @home subscriber, and am attempting to get FreeBSD working with DHCP. I found a couple of web sites detailing how to set it up, but can't get it to work. No matter what I try (detailed dhclient.conf, empty dhclient.conf, dhclient.conf with only send "hostname-a") I can't seem to find the DHCP server. It looks like the DHCP client broadcasts, but doesn't find anything. Assuming I have a static IP address, and manually filling in the IP address, DNS, gateway, etc, works fine, but I hear that @home is going to start decreasing the lease time, and making their service more dynamic. I just saw a couple of people mention that they used @home, so I thought I'd ask. -- Dan Bongert dbongert@ssc.wisc.edu SSCC Unix System Administrator (608) 262-9857 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
