FreeBSD is running as the only non MSWIN machine out of 5, all connected to the outside by going through one MSWIN machine with winroute pro as a gateway/DCHP server. DCHP server is not picking up the hostname of the FreeBSD machine although it is assigning an IP address, and on the FreeBSD machine apache is complaining 'unable to gethostbyname'. when I logon to the FreeBSD it tells me its hostname, as does hostname. Any ideas? Thanks Roger Bacon To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
