I redid the test on a separate computer and it didnt broadcast the dhcprequest. The router's log shows no dhcp activities. I tried by passing the router and using my isp's dhcp server but the result was the same. I tried useing sysinstall on a computer with a different network card and it worked. I am useing 6.2 release. > References > > 1. mailto:kip.macy@gmail.com > 2. mailto:kevcormier@yahoo.com > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-net@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-net > To unsubscribe, send any mail to > "freebsd-net-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" > ____________________________________________________________________________________ Be a better pen pal.
