I really like using FreeBSD but occasionally there is a problem. I keep the base configuration on my laptop pretty clean - infact I use it as a scratch machine. I have been using DHCP from my server machine for a while so I know the configuration works. When I installed FreeBSD 4.6 from CDs on my laptop I just used dhcp for the connection. But dhclient failed to create a /etc/resolv.conf file and so network names failed. I know what to look for to see if networking is functioning. But I'm not familure enough with dhclient to know what to change to fix this problem. It seems that dhclient-script isn't being run, the IP number is being assigned and that is where I decided to try something else. I installed the dhclient from the packages. It seems to work much better. If you want to have the configuration file for the dhcp server I can send it to you. henry -- Henry Tieman You may have to remove the _NOSPAM to reply to this message.
