Last time I used DHCP was on a Windows95 computer 7 years ago, and I've only had a quick look at /etc/rc.network, so this is just a guess... you already have a default route by the time rc.network reaches that loop you quoted because interfaces are set up before the routes, and it *looks* like you get the default route from the dhcp config. look at dhclient.conf(5) and related pages. -- If you cc me or remove the list(s) completely I'll most likely ignore your message. see http://www.eyrie.org./~eagle/faqs/questions.html To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
