You must have missed this at the end of the dhclient.conf man page: This is a very complicated dhclient.conf file - in gen- eral, yours should be much simpler. In many cases, it's sufficient to just create an empty dhclient.conf file - the defaults are usually fine. I agree though, I was a bit aghast at the number of options, but then, I'm aghast at the options for ppp too :^P > -- > -- David (obrien@NUXI.ucdavis.edu -or- obrien@FreeBSD.org) -- Brian , , Don't _EVER_ lose your sense of humour....
