The dhcp package hasen't changed for a while so I'll assume you're running the latest. The only other thing I can think of is adding "request host-name;" to dhclient.conf, although IIRC, that's one of the values requested by default. You may want to check out the documentation at http://www.isc.org/products/DHCP/. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Shawn" <drevil@warpcore.org> To: <freebsd-questions@freebsd.org> Sent: Thursday, July 24, 2003 9:03 PM Subject: Re: Dynamic Hostname Assignment > On Fri, 2003-07-25 at 04:00, Mike Maltese wrote: > > OK, I see now.
