Re: DHCP help
No, I am sure of it because I used my rl0 to connect to the LAN and download all kinds of stuff from the Internet. At that point my FreeBSD was a just box behind a Linksys router connected to the Comcast cable modem and it worked just fine. Then I added IP filtering, rebuilt the kernel, and changed rc.conf along with some other files according to the info I found on the Internet. Now neither of my card works. I got it working some time ago for awhile though - I ran sysinstall/Config/Networking and asked for DHCP search. I actually got the IP address, host name and DNS server IP address from Comcast but then something changed and I never saw it again. I am really dissapointed by how much time I have spent on it without any decent result.

Try starting dhclient with the -v option, and post the output please. I recently had similar problems with FreeBSD 5.2.1. My network card was working fine, dhclient kept sending out DHCPDISCOVER packets, but no offers were received. The problem was caused by my cable modem: it cached the MAC address of the NIC of my regular computer, and when I plugged in my FreeBSD box things went wrong because it had another NIC. The problem was solved by clearing the cache of my cable modem. On most cable modems this can be accomplished by yanking out the power supply, waiting 10 seconds, and plugging it back in ;) . I hope this helps, Thomas ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
