I am subscribed with an adsl link. My provider uses dhcp to assign me an IP address. So I install the isc-dhcp port and set it up. Evrytime I boot my box I get an IP from the dhcp server and I can get on the web. Here is where my problems started... Now evry time I try to start an application in X I get the following error messages in my xconsole: Jul 31 16:34:55 Jedi /kernel: arplookup 127.0.0.1 failed: could not allocate llinfo Jul 31 16:34:55 Jedi /kernel: arpresolve: can't allocate llinfo for 127.0.0.1rt It keeps appearing at regular intervals when I try and start applications in X. It takes 5 to 6 minutes before the app in question actually opens after. I also noted that when I start an app and look in top the application state stays a very long time at "connect" I have contacted isc-dhcp client mailling list I have been told the problem might be with freebsd, so I'm turning to you guys to give me hand and help me fix this problem. Here is information about my setup Jedi# uname -a FreeBSD Jedi.sympatico.ca 3.2-RELEASE FreeBSD 3.2-RELEASE #4: Sun Jul 25 15:19:24 EDT 1999 root@Jedi.sympatico.ca:/usr/src/sys/compile/JEDI i386 Jedi# arp -a HSE-MTL-ppp4564.qc.sympatico.ca (209.226.107.1) at 0:90:6f:fc:38:28 Jedi# cat resolv.conf search bellglobal.com nameserver 204.101.251.1 nameserver 204.101.251.1 nameserver 204.101.251.2 Jedi# cat hosts # In the presence of the domain name service or NIS, this file may # not be consulted at all; see /etc/host.conf for the resolution order. # # 127.0.0.1 localhost If other info is needed Please do not hesitate and contact me.
