Subject: Re: Boot sequence hangs
Hello,
I am not using DSL, but I did have problems switching over from a static =
IP
when Attbi switched to dhcp. Your issue sounds like the IP least is not b=
eing
renewed in FBSD. I found that the solution was in the #/etc/dhcilent.conf=
.
The default is the have an empty file. I found a article on dhcp at
http://www.freebsddiary.org/athome.php it gave an example dhclient.conf t=
o
follow. The information needed to setup is the hostname and network devic=
e.
Here is my dhclient.conf. It requests everything.
interface "fxp0" {
send host-name "c#######-a";
request subnet-mask, broadcast-address, time-offset, routers, domain-name=
,
domain-name-servers;
require subnet-mask;
media "media autoselect";}
