Dear Jay & The FreeBSD Communities,
Thanks for putting your time and patience to help me out. Anyway, I tried it
out, both changing the rc.conf and the dhclient.conf (one at a time). After
that (for both of the ways), I did manage to stop the resolv.conf from being
overwritten after the PC reboot. However, when I ping 192.168.52.1 or
192.168.52.2, the error msg says that there is no route to both of the IP. Even
after I add the default route by using command line ... I am still unable to
ping google.com.
Then, I undo everything by using VMWare... (including undo the DHCP configuration in rc.conf) so that I am able to ping google.com again.
Since, I desperately needed to connect to the Internet at this point of time, I create a
file called resolv.conf in /root ... I am thinking how can I create a script so that it
can copy resolv.conf from /root to /etc/resolv.conf every 30 minutes at start up - This
is because I don't wanna manually type in "cp /root/resolv.conf
/etc/resolv.conf" every 30 minutes.
Hope somebody can share with me the simple coding. Thanks :)
Regards,
Linux Quest

Dear Jay,
Actually, I am running FreeBSD Unix on a VMWare machine (Host OS:
Win2003, Guest OS: FreeBSD).
Any ideas how I can disable / ignore the routing from the VMnet8?
Below are the only VMWare NAT configuration that I have access to. No
DHCP enable / disable option.
Ethernet adapter VMware Network Adapter VMnet8:
Connection-specific DNS Suffix . :
IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.52.1
Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.52.2
When I install FreeBSD, I remember I did select some option to enable
DHCP. Perhaps, I should disable the DHCP service in FreeBSD(Guest OS)
- if so, any idea how do I do it?
Thanks :)

Simple enough, then.
Edit /etc/rc.conf, and remove the line relating to the dhcp client.
Then add:
defaultrouter="192.168.51.2"
hostname="boxname!"
ifconfig_em0="inet 192.168.52.WHATEVERYOUWANT netmask 255.255.255.0"
Hi:
DHCP intends that everything works easily. However, if the DHCP lease
is unsatisfactory, you can
change it after doing man dhclient.conf. Can you post
/var/db/dhclient.leases? Also, in one shell
type "tcpdump -v -c 20" and in another do ping or click a web page.
Finally, "netstat -r"
regards,
-Bob-
