Why don't you just stop running the sendmail daemon? It doesn't sound like you're using it, since you don't have a real domain.

Re: Private Home network
You know you can disable FreeBSD from starting sendmail by editing the /etc/rc.conf and typing in sendmail_enable=NO Then type in shutdown -r NOW to restart FreeBSD This should fix the Sendmail choke problem when you boot up. - Original Message - From: Harry W Hale III [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, July 15, 2002 3:48 AM Subject: Private Home network I have small network at home consisting of three machines.

Re: Private Home network
Mr. Hale Did you ever get any real help with this? My thought: are you telling the interface to use DHCP in /etc/rc.conf? For example, for the RealTek 8139 family of NICs, the following should be in /etc/rc.conf: ifconfig_rl0=DHCP The 'rl0' would vary to another driver name for another type of NIC. If I understood your original question correctly, you desire the FBSD box to grab its own configuration data from the router for your LAN interface --- I think that ought to do it.
