Hi there. I'm pretty new in FreeBSD world. And I have a question about '/etc/dhclient.conf'. Could someone helped me out? My Gnome with Sawfish could not get its host name, so I could not use Netscape from my desktop. The situation is this; I'm using my FreeBSD machine at home as one of my local hosts. There are Mac and Win machine on the LAN as dhcp client and there is a DHCP server. The DHCP server is actually working also default router to fook the internet via a cavle modem. So, I write '/etc/dhclient.conf' like this: retry 60; reboot 10; inital-interval 2; ibterface "ed1" { send host-name "biblo"; supersede domain-name-servers 192.168.0.1; request subnet-mask, broadcast-address, time-offset, routers, domain-name, domain-name-servers; require subnet-mask, domain-name-servers; script "/sbin/dhclient-script"; } At console, every thing seems to be fine. Command 'hostname' reply to me right host name. I could ping also by IP address (not host name). I can mail, I can telnet remort host, I can FTP. BUT once I booted X, Gnome could NOT get host name, so I could NOT use Netscape or other browser from my desk top. How should I do? Could someone helped me out?
