I have downloaded the two floppy disks, and have run thru the install system several times, but cannot find any way of editing my dhclient.conf file to reflect the requirements of my dhcp server, providing my computer name or other information to my ISP.. the Network configuration screen does not seem to allow me to connect to the dhcp server, and so i have no way of installing this os. if there is a workaround, i'd really appreciate knowing about it, as i'm pulling all my hair out trying to figure out how to connect to the ftp, thru my cable modem, where all my ip and other info is not given out. other info that my help, I am connecting thru Rogers @home system that only allows for dhcp connection. they do not offer tech support for non win32 and mac os's. if this is helpful, i am using as a second computer, Win 2000, and am a newbe to linux and freeBSD. If there is a way of using win 2000 to retrieve the Host, domain, name server, netmask, i can do that, however the ipconfig does not seem to provide all the required fields. thankyou in advance. ken easson To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
