Note: Please reply/cc to author as I am not a subscribed member of this list. ------ I'm having a problem with my dhclient, or, for the most part, setting up my internet numbers. The problem follows an unusual pattern. Using a windows box (gag) I tested my ethernet line to make sure it's good. Sure enough, it was good. Due to the room I am in, I always get the same IP address (I tried this over a couple of days to make sure), as the addresses are divided out by room number here. Ok, so cut to the chase!: My number is xxx.yyy.zzz.173 On FreeBSD, my dhclient gets this address: xxx.yyy.zzz.172 (The same address but with a decrementation of the last number). I did check the gateways and the routers, and they are the same for both the windows system and the FreeBSD, so I think they are OK, but the address *I* was assigned was different by a value of 1. I didn't have this problem last year so I suspect someone in networking was messing around with the equipment. Other than keep yelling at my networking dept., does anyone have any solid advice about what I can do? Even if you don't have any advice, a hypothesis of what is wrong is valued. Thanks. (fyi, if it helps, I'm running FreeBSD-4.3 REL) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
