And without knowing, I tried `killall -9 dhclient ; /sbin/dhclient dc1` to try and re-request my IP. Sometimes, its gives dc1 192.168.1.100, but other times it just hangs. If I control-C it, any command I execute after fails. For example, w,kill,top,ps, etc couldn't find some libraries. dhclient-script kept printing errors about too many files open. Rebooting fixes it. >How-To-Repeat: Do a `killall -9 dhclient ; /sbin/dhclient dc1` while your cable is out. This is only when you cable (cable tv as well) is not working. >Fix: unsure. I would guess a possible loop somewhere. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
