Hi, I'm having some troubles getting DHCP to work with my 3c509b network card. I know this card is not among the best supported, but I'm forced to use this card by my cable network provider. I have used both wide-dhcp and isc-dhcp, but only succeeded so far with wide-dhcp. I have had some success, but now it seems to refuse to come back up. When I look at the packets floating by with tcpdump, it seems the client sends out the request (DHCPDISCOVER) correctly, but then gets a response back that contains a remark about an incorrect cksum. I'm not fluent at reading tcpdump output, but this is what it looks like. Now, does this ring a bell for someone? I stronly suspect the driver for the 3c509b, but I'm tied to it, or could I use another card, and sent the mac address of the 3c509b with the DHCP request? Isc-dhcp seems to have that capability, but sends out its broadcast addresses using 'ifconfig ep0 0.0.0.0 broadcast 255.255.255.255' and that results in a send error when I run it (the latest isc-dhcp from december 4) Oh, and to rule out any dhcp server configurations errors, Win95 comes up with no problems at all (assuming this means anything at all ;-)) Regards, Marc. ---------------------------------------------------- Marc van Kempen BowTie Technology Email: marc@bowtie.nl WWW & Databases tel. +31 40 2 43 20 65 fax. +31 40 2 44 21 86 http://www.bowtie.nl ---------------------------------------------------- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
