W. Ballantine" Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hi, I'm running a dual boot (win98/FreeBSD) connected to the internet via an RCN dualmode cable modem. RCN recently renumbered their network, and based on the output of winipcfg my machine has an address of 216.164.26.XXX and a gateway of 10.17.44.XXX (believe me that is what winipcfg provides and I can connect via windows with no ISP special software). To try and get around this problem, I downloaded, applied the dhcp-2.0 port, compiled and install the latest copy of dhcp-20, so I have the defaults installed and and empty dlcient.conf. When I run dlclient it appears to run, but then fails: >tinlizzie $ /sbin/dhclient ep0 >Internet Software Consortium DHCP Client 2.0 >Copyright 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999 The Internet Software Consortium. >All rights reserved. > >Please contribute if you find this software useful. >For info, please visit http://www.isc.org/dhcp-contrib.html > >Listening on BPF/ep0/00:20:af:26:b0:3c >Sending on BPF/ep0/00:20:af:26:b0:3c >Sending on Socket/fallback/fallback-net >DHCPREQUEST on ep0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 >DHCPACK from 10.17.44.XXX >New Network Number: 216.164.36.0 >New Broadcast Address: 216.164.36.255 >bound to 216.164.36.XXX -- renewal in 1073741823 seconds. >tinlizzie $ Jan 25 11:46:19 tinlizzie dhclient: select: Invalid argument >Jan 25 11:46:19 tinlizzie dhclient: exiting. My dhclient.conf is empty, and I don't find any select's in the script. And pointers on where to start looking for the select: Invalid argument cause ??
