hallo everybody - I'm a newbie and so far very pleased with FreeBSD except for two problems - of which the DHCP problem is the most serious. I have a pc connected to the net via cable modem which (i hope) is configured as a workstation rather than a server. If I boot into W95 and then return to FreeBSD (i.e. reboot from the FreeBSD partition on the same machine), FreeBSD does not seem able to get a lease. This can last for hours. W95 doesn't have this problem (I go to W95 for e-mail and newsgroups such as this!) on booting back to FreeBSD I get the following: "Doing initial network setup:hostname" "ifconfig: ioctl (SIOCDIFADDR):can't assign requested address" ...and it stops there for HOURS (I usually re-boot to W95 to get anything done or go to bed!) In Netscape (under X) on FreeBSD I sometimes get the following messages: "Warning: the host .xxxxx.xxx is unknown" (xxx etc = the domian name of my provider) "This means that some or all hosts will be unreadable" "Perhaps there is a problem with your name server!" "If your site must use a non-root name server, " you will need to set the $SOCKS_NS environment variable " to point at the appropiate name server. " It may (or may not) be necessary to set this variable, " or the SOCKS host preference, to the IP address of the host in question rather than its name." I am only running a workstation client connected to the net via a cable modem. I DO get connected - but then lose the connection as explained above. Can anybody help? Until I solve this problem I can't rely on my FreeBSD for mail etc. I really am a newbie and don't have the necessary overview. here is some more raw data: BTW - I have no firewall. I have NO dhclient.script... neither in /usr/local/etc nor in /etc Here is /etc/dhclient.conf: # $FreeBSD: src/etc/dhclient.conf,v 1.2 1999/08/27 23:23:41 peter Exp $ # # This file is required by the ISC DHCP client. # See ``man 5 dhclient.conf'' for details. # # In most cases an empty file is suffient for most people as the # defaults are usually fine. # here is /var/log/dmesg.today - an unsucessful attempt to get onto the internet: Copyright (c) 1992-2000 The FreeBSD Project.
