Be that as it may, the offers always occur within the same second: Jun 18 08:56:24 gate dhcpd: DHCPDISCOVER from 00:c0:a8:f1:e8:c3 (Tyler-PC) via bridge0 Jun 18 08:56:24 gate dhcpd: DHCPOFFER on 192.168.2.251 to 00:c0:a8:f1:e8:c3 (Tyler-PC) via bridge0 I will disable the ping check in today's tests though. -- Mel _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
