I have a slight problem with my shiny new copy of FreeBSD....I can't seem to get connected to my ISP....I have read everything I could fid in the FAQs and manual but haven't managed to find a solution to my dilema When I went to install everything worked just fine...I even installed over FTP...I chose my NIC and did automatic DHCP configuration. It worked like a charm... however my extacsy was to be shortlived.. when booting there is a long pause when the dhclient starts....my guess is it is querying the server for the dhcp info. however once it comes back up it shows me as having BROADCAST of 255.255.255.255 and nothing I have done has enabled me to fix it. I am running FreeBSD 5.2.1 but have also tried this on 4.10 both with no avail. I don't know what to do. I am somewhat new to freebsd (I can manage to get myself around....cvsup, ports, kernel and the like....just don't expect me to code...yet ;) )and what I don't how to do I can generally look around till I find something that shows me how to accomplish it but I am at a loss here. Thanks for any help in advance __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Friends. Fun. Try the all-new Yahoo! Messenger. http://messenger.yahoo.com/
