hi all..
this is new - just installed 6 and here:
# dhclient fxp0
DHCPDISCOVER on fxp0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 5
DHCPDISCOVER on fxp0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 8
..............................................................................................
and a few other intervals...
so if the fxp0 is up and the dhcp server is up then whats wrong with
dhclient?...
i'm actually writing from a machine on the same dhcp server...
Hi there, I just read through this thread. I run dhclient on 6.0 with no
problem at all. Normally, it will start sending a DHCPREQUEST then
DHCPDISCOVER.
Some questions:
- Do you use a dhclient.conf from your previous install? These are
incompatible. The new dhclient is a port from OpenBSD who completely
rewrote dhclient. The old is from ISC.
- Have you tried to toggle timeout/retry in dhclient.conf?
- Can you sniff traffic on the NIC?
- Do you have any firewalling set? or did you forget to disable ipfw?
I think that ipfw defaults to block everything, I'm not sure if that
is new in 6.0.
Yes, I know the last two are somewhat basic stuff, but sometimes one
just forget to check it.
Cheers, Erik
