Maybe the > problem becomes obvious then. :) As I noted, it served fine to the Windows installation on the same box on the same wire from the same server. Also, just before installing 5.3, it was serving just fine to FreeBSD 4.10 on the same box on the same wire from the same server. The only factor that's different is the software and OS running. I'm wondering what if anything's changed in dhclient between 4.10 and 5.3 ... is there some daft but obvious gotcha I've missed? Or are you saying the 5.3 dhclient is much, much fussier in some way? - d. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
