Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hi - I'd like to know how can I "tell" my fbsd box to get a dynamic IP address from the DHCP server on the net? I've already installed wide-dhcp-1.4.0p1 from the package stable. I've added "pseudo-device bpfilter 4" to the kernel and created /dev/bpf[0-3]. Then, I added 3 IP addresses of DHCP server in /etc/resolv.conf ==> xx.xx.xx.xx. Should I added "nameserver" to ip address? My goal is to have fbsd box as my "workstation" on the Novell net. I know there is no Novell client out there for fbsd. :-( I wish there is fbsd user group in Chicago area. So, I can speed up my learning curve!! Geez. Thanks for your help.
