Try adding: interface "ed0" { send host-name "yourname"; } Note: make sure ed0 is your DHCP interface. Substitute your machine name for "yourname" This works for me in the office. Disclaimer: My DHCP server requires clients to send their hostname so that Dynamic DNS can add the machine to DNS. If your site doesn't work this way, this may not help. MikeC Michael C.

I have some problem I think related with a DNS problem. So to perform some tries, I setup one of my machine as a DHCP client. This machine is running FREEBSD 4.2-RELEASE. So I added in my rc.conf: ifconfig_ed0="DHCP" Everything looks fine (but sendmail who is waiting for a long period of time, I will check that later on) but if I look on my DHCP server (a 3com LanModem) I cannot see this machine as registred and others machine cannot reach it because of a DNS failure. At a first glance this was not a big problem until I switched on my very new printer which has a network adapter and is configured as a DHCP client. At this moment, I had a message on all my FreeBSD machines on my network saying : Jan 5 19:46:38 greatoak /kernel: arp: 192.168.1.5 moved from 00:00:1c:00:cc:43 to 00:80:77:31:be:32 on ed0 192.168.1.5 is the IP adress of the FreeBSD machine configured as a DHCP client. 00:00:1c:00:cc:43 is the MAC of the FreeBSD machine as DHCP client 00:80:77:31:be:32 is the MAC of the printer And if I look at my DHCP server, then I see that my Printer is listed in the list of workstations. In fact, it looks like that Windows machine and my printer are automatically listed but FreeBSD's are not. I have search in -questions archive and made a request on gnats database with no success. Thanks. Phil.
