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?
