I'm unable to use FreeBSD to connect to the Internet via the
@home cable service. I've configured my hostname to be the
"identifier" that Windows 98 uses to connect just fine (same system,
dual boot). In FreeBSD I type
/usr/local/sbin/dhcpc -r fxp0
/usr/local/sbin/dhcpm fxp0 ~/logfile
and basically it just keeps sending the DHCPDISCOVER message over and
over again without ever getting a DHCPOFFER message. This is what the
logfile created by dhcpm looks like. I notice that nowhere is my
hostname (the secret 'c#######-a' identifier) mentioned. Am I missing
some configuration step?
