Hi!

I'm trying to attach my FreeBSD box  with two NICs (rl0 & xl0) to the
net
for experimental purposes.

The fact is, that despite my cable provider allows up to 3 dynamic ip
adresses for a single cable modem, I'm experiencing problems getting the
ip address of the last interface through the dhcp client. There isn't any
kind of problem with the first interface attached, it pings ok everywhere.

I've checked boths NICs looking for malfunction, but they work fine.

I've tried to communicate the remaining interface to the DHCP server
through a different port, but it doesn't work.

Moreover, if I try to directly obtain an ip through the shell (
/sbin/./dhclient xl0 ), previously killing the dhclient for rl0, I obtain
the IP adress but dozens of anoying messages begin to appear on screen.

Is it possible tha kernel doesn't allow two interfaces with dynamic ip
adresses in the same media?

Could you help me?   Thanks in advance.
