Their network design supports no more than 16 hops on the way to a DHCP server, but increasing the (hard-coded) TTL (at line 159 in /usr/src/contrib/isc-dhcp/common/packet.c) can help fix the problem. I would like to manually try to connect to my isp before i try changing the code for DHCP. I got my network info from my lrp operating system. I would like to switch that to bsd. can i use traceroute to find out the number of hops i am currently taking to get to my isp's dhcp server? manual configuration -------------------- ifconfig_rl0="inet 66.41.139.87 netmask 255.255.248.0" #66.41.139.87/21 ifconfig_rl1="inet 192.168.1.254 netmask 255.255.255.0" default_router="66.41.136.1 rl0" default_router="192.168.1.254 rl1" domain the-matrix.net nameserver 63.240.76.19 nameserver 204.127.198.19 is there anything else i need to manually connect to my isp? thanks, brian To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
