Hello! I am trying to test the commands mentioned in http://ezine.daemonnews.org/200406/netgraph.html and it seems that there is no way at all to make the virtual interface (ngeth0) to get an IP address through DHCP (server running on a win98 box at 192.168.0.1). All the DHCPOFFERS seem to be ignored, despite there is no firewall or any other "bad" configuration issue (the DHCPOFFERS get sent from the DHCP server; confirmed via tcpdump). The "actual" network i/f (ep0) has no problem acquiring an IP address from the DHCP server as well. The funny thing is that if I "hardcode" an IP address to the ngeth0 (i.e. 192.168.0.5) and add the default route accordingly, I have perfect connectivity between the two machines (and from/to the Internet). Any ideas why the dhclient ignores the DHCPOFFERS when run for the ngeth0 i/f while it accepts them when run for the ep0 i/f? Thanks in advance. P.S. : Running 5.4-PRERELEASE #2 but I have experienced the same problem in previous 5-x snapshots.
