Is your DNS setup correctly? If you're getting an IP address
successfully, but you're not able to connect to a machine via hostname,
then I'd look at DNS. In most cases, you don't need to write a
dhclient.conf (a blank file will work). None-the-less, this is what I
have for my main router:
timeout 60;
retry 60;
reboot 30;
select-timeout 5;
initial-interval 2;
interface "ed0" {
supersede domain-name "marcuscom.com";
prepend domain-name-servers 127.0.0.1;
}
All my other FreeBSD machines are statically addressed.
