Hi,=20

I do not configure a DHCP server. When my FreeBSD 6.0 is booting, there =
are several DHCPDISCOVERY messages, finally it shows no DHCPOFFER =
received. Do I need to configure a DHCP server myself? If I need a DHCP =
server? Where it should be? Now I only have one test machine, Ubuntu as =
the host OS, two VMs (both are FreeBSD 6.0) on this machine. I want this =
two VMs communicate with each other.=20

Just go back to the DHCP stuff, when I use NAT mode, the guest OS =
FreeBSD 6.0 could get DHCPOFFER successfully. Who is the DHCP server =
then?

When running dhclien em0, the results are similar to the DHCPDISCOVER =
results during booting. No DHCPOFFERS received.=20


Thanks,
W.W.
