This is the wrong place to post this question. You should post it to the questions list. Also you need to post the full contents of dmesg.boot and rc.conf file so people can see what you have to determine what is wrong. -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-newbies@freebsd.org [mailto:owner-freebsd-newbies@freebsd.org]On Behalf Of Peter Barton Sent: Sunday, August 08, 2004 1:02 PM To: freebsd-newbies@freebsd.org Subject: DHCP not connecting Hello - I am trying to connect my server to a cable modem but my dhclient can't find any DHCP servers. I have searched all kinds of discussion groups in order to find out what is wrong with it but I don't seem to be able to find the problem. My network card seems to be working (active status in ifconfig output) and I have specified in /etc/rc.conf that I want this card to use DHCP. My understanding is that all the other setup options for a firewall (that's what I want to do) come in play later so I should not have to worry about NAT and IP filtering etc. at this point. I just want to run sysinstall, specify that I want to use DHCP, and see something come back to me. So far it always expires. Thank you very much, Peter _________________________________________________________________ Is your PC infected?
