RE: Help!!! Problems with dhclient....
Sorry for my lack of knowledge.. But.. I'm pretty new to FreeBSD I'll admit, but I'm definitely using it. Anyways, the last LINUX Distro that I installed (Slackware and Red Hat both used that, I believe), used tulip.o, so I assumed FreeBSD did as well, since it actually didn't let me tell it which driver to use. The device is working perfectly. OR seems to be anyways, based on the fact that I can see it, along with the correct MAC ID for it in an ifconfig for dc0. Is 'dc' what you're talking about in this case? -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Damian Gerow Sent: Friday, September 05, 2003 5:47 PM To: Christopher W Rueber Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Help!!!

Help!!! Problems with dhclient....
I have looked through all the help files that I can find, handbook and such (along with the Complete FreeBSD book).. And I just can't seem to solve this problem: I am setting up high speed internet for a Cable Modem. My cable provider uses a DHCP setup, thus I have to use dhclient. I am running an NC100 ethernet card (using the tulip.o driver) - That seems to be working fine (As it will obtain the DHCP information from my router when it is setup). However, whenever I set my router to bridging (as I want to be able to connect to the box when I'm away from home, and NATting doesn't work real well for that), the box can't seem to use DHCP to get it's information. My ISP provisions for 3 IP addresses, and I'm only using one other (and I have checked to make sure that any previous are released from the modem itself). I'm pulling an IP of 0.0.0.0 when I use ifconfig. I've also went through my rc.conf file to make sure everything is setup.it seems okay. Any ideas? Am I missing something obvious? Thanks in advance for the help! (Please send email directly back to this email address if any other information is needed, or you have a suggestion!)

But the general idea is that you have a monitor script which looks like: #! /bin/sh while : ; do /usr/local/bin/tmda-ofmipd -R imap://localhost -u tofmipd echo "TMDA daemon died!
