This is a multi-part message in MIME format. --Boundary_(ID_FfTwPix/AGsE+NJuLmf9LQ) Content-type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT Hi, I've got a network problem thats driving me crazy. I'm pretty new to FreeBSD (UNIX in general), so I need the simple explanation. Here it is: 1. A friend of mine gave me a FreeBSD 4.4 Stable box that he setup at work. It was setup and worked correctly connected to a static IP address. 2. I am now trying to connect this box to my comcast @Home DHCP account. For the past 4 days I have scoured the internet and read specific instructions on DHCP and static IP setup. 3. At boot time, the box hangs for a moment with the message: ifconfig: ioctl (SIOCDIFADDR): Can't assign the requested address I get this message no matter if the NIC is connected to the network cable or not. If I kill dhclient and restart it, i get the same message. I always get this message.........arrr Here is my ifconfig: rl0: flags=8843<UP, BROADCAST, RUNNING, SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 inet6 fe80::204:e2ff:fe0b:4749%rl0 prefixlen64 scopeid 0x1 inet 0.0.0.0 netmask 0xff000000 broadcast 255.255.255.255 ether 00:04:e2:0b:47:49 media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX <full-duplex>) status: active rl0: flags=8802<UP, BROADCAST, RUNNING, SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 ether 00:04:e2:0b:47:3f media: Ethernet autoselect (none) status: no carrier lp0: flags=8810<POINTTOPOINT, SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 faith0: flags=8000<MULTICAST> mtu 1500 lo0: flags=8049<UP, LOOPBACK, RUNNING, SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 16384 Here is /etc/rc.conf network_interfaces="auto" ifconfig_lo0="inet 127.0.0.1" ifconfig_rl0="DHCP" hostname="ci5XXXX-a"; #my comcast account name The only real changes I have made are following the instructions on how to setup a DHCP client, specificly for @home. However, no matter what changes I make to /etc/rc.conf or /etc/dhclient.conf, I still get the same message: ifconfig: ioctl (SIOCDIFADDR): Can't assign the requested address. All of my searches on the net for similar problems have been futile. My only guess is that somewhere there may be a conf file making the box look for its old static IP. Any help would be great.
