Both the Apple and the Lucent/Orinoco products use a DNS approach in DHCP that makes FreeBSD unhappy. (Their nameserver approach works fine with Windows and Mac OS, though). To keep the DHCP nameserver from overwriting /etc/resolv.conf on boot you need to comment out the make resolv.conf section in the dhclient-script, like so: #make_resolv_conf() { # echo search $new_domain_name >/etc/resolv.conf # for nameserver in $new_domain_name_servers; do # echo nameserver $nameserver >>/etc/resolv.conf # done #} Tim On Sat, 9 Mar 2002, Aaron Siegel wrote: > Hello > This summer I worked for a wireless ISP.
