$man fxp timed out -> problem with network
from your post : send_packet: Network is down -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Hari Sent: Wednesday, July 23, 2008 9:33 AM To: misc@openbsd.org Subject: DHCP question Hello. I just finished installing OpenBSD 4.3. The dhcp setup during network configuration was fine, meaning, IP address was properly assigned. I went ahead with the default values provided. However, after rebooting post installation, I am getting the following messages that seems to point to a network problem (and of course, no IP address is assigned): <messages> fxp0: warning: SCB timed out (x 3) fxp0: config command timeout DHCPDISCOVER on fxp0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 1 send_packet: Network is down No DHCPOFFERS received. No working leases in persistent database - sleeping. </messages> Several `intervals` are tried.

Why is the OpenBSD box not assigned an IP by this router? Can anyone please let me know how I can get the network up and running on the OpenBSD box? Please let me know in case I have missed out on listing any config files. Thanks. Hari
