Thanks, David. I'm going to have to go through the whole troubleshooting process. Both the server and the client, my laptop, are running current and to make it worse I did a portupgrade -Rria on both since I used dhcp the last time. At least I know that it should work:-) Thanks, again. ed Quoting David Wolfskill <david@catwhisker.org>: > >Date: Thu, 13 Dec 2001 06:15:32 -0800 > >From: Edwin Culp <eculp@EnContacto.Net> > > >Is anyone using dhclient successfully with Current of the last week or so? > > Sure; hadn't noticed any problems with it. > > >I don't use it all the time but I have been trying for the last couple of > >days without success. > > >It accesses the server and changes the interface ip to 0.0.0.0 netmask > >255.255.255.255. > > Odd.
