I'm mailing from a windows-95 box, and I'm not on the list so cc me. In previous mail, I said that I was unable to ping myself. I'm using isc-dhcp beta 2.18 on the FreeBSD 3.1-RELEASE box with Motorola CyberSURFR cable-modem from Videotron. I'm not the only one that was not able to ping itself under FreeBSD from that cable provider. Here is the message I found today when examining my boot process, see the ---> arrow for interesting parts. --------- Doing initial network setup: hostname.
