Hi I have a Cable and have a Cable Modem for my internet connection of which
you use dhcp to obtain an IP address great but this only seems to work
successfully on a Windows machine I've registered all the other mac
addresses of unix boxes and Apple macs I have and they seem to have alot of
difficulty obtaining IP addresses. Especially the UNIX machines which run
FreeBSD 4.5-RELEASE or 5.0-CURRENT on sparc64 at the moment the sparc64 box
which is a Sun Ultra 5 which is the worst for detecting an IP with dhclient.

What I would really like to know is what does the windows dhcp do
differently than say dhclient.

I would be very interested to know as I would like a UNIX machine that can
maintain and IP address.

Bri,
