I am wondering if there are anyone out there that has FreeBSD connected to a @home account. I am having problems getting my fbsd box to connect to the @home network. I was finally able to get an address from the @home dhcp address only after editing the dhclient.conf file to specify that I send the DHCP server my hostname that @home gives me. I suppose this is the method of making sure that only @home users are using @home. So I got the address from the dhcp server but i can not go anywhere, I can not ping anything accept myself. I am wondering if there is something that needs to continually broadcasted out that I am this user that they specify that I use. Or maybe there is another problem that I am not seeing. I look at the manual and for M$ machines they put the host name in the netbios namespace(identifaction tab of the network properties). I look at the MAC config and put this name in the DHCP client id box. In mac machines 8.1 and before they use a static address and put that host name behind the domain name in a fqdn looking name space in the boxes lableled Implicit Search Path:... In the starting domain name they put that fqdn and in the ending domain name they leave blank, In the additional search domains they enter that fqdn again. With all of this description, can anyone tell me what is going on here or what I can do to resolve this problem with FreeBSD and @home?
