I'm getting the following message at startup immediately after the dmesg lines relating to rlphy0: ifconfig: ioctl (SIOCDIFADDR): Can't assign requested address. I assume that refers to ifconfig_rl0="DHCP" but I have no idea how to fix it so that the address gets assigned. The FBSD box is the gateway for my LAN, and I normally run NAT and an ipfw firewall w/ tcp.blackhole and udp.blackhole set to 2, but I've disabled NAT and the firewall and reset blackhole to 0 for both protocols while I try to set up the cable modem. Can anyone tell me how to assign the requested address? configuration info: $ uname -a FreeBSD sten.alder.net 4.4-RELEASE FreeBSD 4.4-RELEASE #0: Sat Dec 7 18:48:43 E ST 2002 root@sten.alder.net:/usr/src/sys/compile/STEN2 i386 $ less rc.conf hostname="sten.alder.net" inetd_enable="YES" network_interfaces="rl0 lo0" ifconfig_rl0="DHCP" ifconfig_lo0="inet 127.0.0.1" kern_securelevel_enable="NO" firewall_enable="NO" named_enable="YES" named_flags="-b /etc/namedb/named.conf" portmap_enable="YES" $ ifconfig rl0 rl0: flags=8843 mtu 1500 inet 0.0.0.0 netmask 0xff000000 broadcast 255.255.255.255 ether 00:40:05:80:44:4b media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX ) status: active $ netstat -r Routing tables Internet: Destination Gateway Flags Refs Use Netif Expire 0 link#4 UC 1 0 rl0 => default 192.168.0.1 UGSc 26 3 rl0 0.255.255.255 ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff UHLWb 3 9 rl0 localhost localhost UH 0 2 lo0 _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org"
