He does not see a request. This may be because SRM has problems with the interface or because of LAN problems between the client and dhcp server. I've seen failures with suns because the switchnetwork need to long establish the path when an interface goes up. The suns hadn't tried long enough. Maybe there are similar issues with SRM. You can usually handle this by configuring you switches acordingly. -- B.Walter COSMO-Project http://www.cosmo-project.de ticso@cicely.de Usergroup info@cosmo-project.de To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message
