Wow Greg, thanks for taking the time to help a newbie who is obviously having trouble with the apples and oranges of FreeBSD..let me tell ya, your book beats hell out of any other tech books I've read. >On Tuesday, 4 April 2000 at 16:43:38 -0500, David Ward wrote: >> I'm guessing that to have DHCP enabled on a freeBSD 3.4 release >> machine, with a WinNT 4.0 Server acting as the DHCP server that I >> will need to have SAMBA installed and configured first?? >No. phew...thank god for small amounts of happiness :) >> Currently I'm just looking at the 'Scanning for DHCP Servers...' >> dialog box...what fun what fun... >Dialogue box? Yes, I'm ashamed to admit it, but this is during the initial OS install/configuration from /stand/sysinstall..and problems with DHCP clients isn't covered in your book.. :( when I configure the N.I.C. I'm telling it to use DHCP, and it automatically starts a search for a DHCP server..(I take it I should just skip the N.I.C. config 'till I get the OS up and running?) >> unfortunately Greg's book only covers hang's on boot with the 509, >Well, no, it also discusees devices at IRQ 9 not working and missing >SCSI boards on HP's Netserver, and a few other things.
