Hi,
I=E2=80=99ve installed FreeBSD on my PC to learn about it, on a hard driv=
e which
previously had Debian Linux on it. At first it seemed to be working.
However, after a day or two suddenly DHCP stopped working. What I
suspect happened is: initially the FreeBSD installer successfully
negotiated a DHCP lease, but afterwards the installed system failed to
renew it, so as long as the original lease was valid everything was
working, but not after it expired.
When Debian was installed on the same machine (and same drive), it had
no issues with DHCP. I also have another drive in that machine with
Windows on it, and Windows also has no issues with DHCP.
OS version:
> # uname -a
> FreeBSD VOYAGER 13.1-RELEASE FreeBSD 13.1-RELEASE releng/13.1-n250148-f=
c952ac2212 GENERIC amd64
In dhclient logs there is no DHCPACK, only DHCPDISCOVER:

I haven=E2=80=99t modified /etc/dhclient.conf in any way. Except the defa=
ult
comments, it=E2=80=99s empty.
Is anyone able to say whether I have something misconfigured? Or is it
a bug?
Thanks,
Peter
