After trying to "wade" through the dhclient-script file, I'm throwing my hands in the air and going with the way we were doing this. Basically, in order to test the health of a dhcp server, to see if it was serving addresses, a dhcp request was made from the machine and then when a response was received, the ethernet interface was reset with the static address. One question is that our last dhcp server was running Red Hat Linux 6.0 and the command to reset the interface back to a static was: /etc/rc.d/init.d/network restart I'm not sure how to do this in FreeBSD 3.4. Any suggestions/ideas? Oscar "Don't believe the hype" To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
