"mylap.no.net") ;; esac Before I shut down to leave, I edit it, moving destination domain to last in list. What I should do is eg: ping -c 1 some_known_site_dependent_host or better still set up dhcpd hosts, & let the laptop search for site dependent dhcpd servers. > If you get anywhere, posting your findings would be helpful and > healthy for the archives The topic has been discussed numerous times over years on mobile@freebsd.org, I think it better the topic stays there than on net@ :-) so search the mobile@ archives ( net@ seems more appropriate for somewhat deeper stuff, if eg DHCPD fails to negotiate or whatever. ) > > On 8/15/10, Zeus V Panchenko <zeus@ibs.dn.ua> wrote: > > Hi All, > > > > may somebody advice, please ... > > > > i'd like to get automatic network configuration for my netbook while > > startup depending on the network it connected to while starting up ... > > > > not dhcp, but system startup script to detect the network and to > > configure the interfaces > > > > i have written script which receives arguments -h for home and -j for > > job and cosequently configures network, and configured network in > > rc.conf for one of the connections (default is job) > > > > but i'd like the system to do that automaticaly to avoid timeouts of > > network services like sshd/sendmail/e.t.c. when i'm starting up with > > "wrong" connection > > > > is there correct way to do that with some of the sturtup scripts or i > > have to do that by hands somewhere in rc.early? > > > > -- > > Zeus V.
