I'm actually going to try some pretty adventuresome stuff with my
"new" notebook PC. I want to be able to freely hook it in to my home
LAN, _my_ office LAN, and the office-wide LAN. DHCP seems the best
option for this. I've set up the DHCP servers apparently without a
hitch, but the notebook client has been giving an error that has me
stumped.
My ep0 PC-Card does not properly detect the medium in use (it can be
UTP or BNC and it defaults to UTP, the wrong choice). All I have in
/etc/dhclient.conf is,
# $FreeBSD: src/etc/dhclient.conf,v 1.1.2.2 1999/08/29 14:18:41 peter Exp $
#
# This file is required by the ISC DHCP client.
# See ``man 5 dhclient.conf'' for details.
#
# In most cases an empty file is suffient for most people as the
# defaults are usually fine.
#
# 2000/02/14 - cjc: Global settings for DHCP
option host-name "cjc-notebook";
# 2000/02/14 - cjc: The ep0 device needs a hint to use 10Base2
interface "ep0" {
medium "link1";
}
#interface "xe0" { }
#End
From all I can see on the manpage, dhclient.conf(5), this is a
perfectly correct file. It is very similar to, but more simple than,
the example given on the manpage. However, when dhclient runs, I get,
dhclient: /etc/dhclient.conf line 12: expecting a statement.
dhclient: option
dhclient: ^
dhclient: /etc/dhclient.conf line 15: semicolon expected.
dhclient: interface
dhclient: ^
I've tried many different permutations of this file and I always get
these type of errors. I must be missing something obvious.
Thanks.
