[-- Attachment #1 --] question i cant get freebsd to work with DHCP, the only way i can get it online is to set it to a static IP i will go into /stand/sysinstall, and select my NIC, it asks to search for DHCP servers i say yes, then a bunch of kernal lines come up then i do a control-C, it then goes into the NIC config screen, everything is filled out correctly, it finds the server, then it has my comp name, then my complete online address, then my DNS servers and gateway info, it pulls up my default subnet mask, then i say ok, then it asks to bring it up, i select yes, then i cant browse or ping any site, i reboot still not online (no pinging any sites work nor browsing), but if i set it to static everything is ok, (I DONT HAVE A STATIC IP, IT IS A LEASED IP FOR 1 WEEK) how do i fix this rob wideman mrboboo@home.com [-- Attachment #2 --] <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML><HEAD> <META content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" http-equiv=Content-Type> <META content="MSHTML 5.00.3105.105" name=GENERATOR> <STYLE></STYLE> </HEAD> <BODY bgColor=#ffffff> <DIV><FONT color=#800080 face="MS Sans Serif" size=2> <P>question</P> <P>i cant get freebsd to work with DHCP, the only way i can get it online is to set it to a static IP</P> <P>i will go into /stand/sysinstall, and select my NIC, it asks to search for DHCP servers i say yes, then a bunch of kernal lines come up</P> <P>then i do a control-C, it then goes into the NIC config screen, everything is filled out correctly, it finds the server, then it has my comp name, then my complete online address, then my DNS servers and gateway info, <FONT color=#000000 face=Arial>it pulls up my default subnet mask, then i say ok, then it asks to bring it up, i select yes, </FONT></P> <P><FONT color=#000000 face=Arial>then i cant browse or ping any site, i reboot</FONT></P> <P><FONT color=#000000 face=Arial>still not online (no pinging any sites work nor browsing), </FONT></P> <P><FONT color=#000000 face=Arial>but if i set it to static everything is ok, (I DONT HAVE A STATIC IP, IT IS A LEASED IP FOR 1 WEEK)</FONT></P> <P><FONT color=#000000 face=Arial>how do i fix this</FONT></P> <P><FONT color=#000000 face=Arial>rob wideman</FONT></P> <P><FONT color=#000000 face=Arial>mrboboo@home.com</FONT></P></FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>help
