Is this a known problem? >>I have experienced the same behaviour. Removing />>var/db/dhclient.leases before starting dhclient solved my problem. I have a different problem with dhclient. I get a lease but resolving of hostnames outside of my local network is failing. I've tried removing /etc/resolv.conf and /var/db/dhclient.leases before starting dhclient, but it doesn't seem to work. Adding the nameserver to /etc/resolv.conf allows me to resolve hostnames, access websites, use cvs and so on, but ping doesn't seem to work. If I look at the default route in netstat -r, gateway displays the correct IP, but the flags are UGS, on my 5.1 machine they are UGSc, so there is something wierd going on. Why all of a sudden in 5.2 I have to put the nameserver in /etc/resolv.conf, when before this never had to be done? And what is going on with the flags? AP
