We have been bought out, and the new powers that be, are changing things. They have decreed that there shall be no static entries in their DNS servers. They are using $MS DHCP/DNS servers. I have a corporate supported Win XP laptop, which I can plug in at various places in the network. It gets different IP addresses, based upon where it physically is, but always comes up with the same name.
I have several machines (such as a mailserver) which _MUST_ have fixed names. I have played around with /etc/dhcllient.conf, but not managed to get this working. I can get IP addresses, and various things such as default routers, and DNS servers, but I have not managed to get the suggested name put in their DNS. I have captured packet traces with wireshark from the laptop, and from the FreebSD client, and I am putting these up at http://beachcave.net/pdumps. I would really appreciate it if someone more familiar with DHCP that I could take a look at theses. Thanks. -- One of the main causes of the fall of the roman empire was that, lacking zero, they had no way to indicate successful termination of their C programs. _______________________________________________ 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"
