Re: Don't know what else to do with DHCP...help??
I think I'll leave mine as is until I or someone (hint, hint) comes up with the real fix. I don't reboot this machine very often and my script file seems to work fine. If you are interested, here it is $ cat /root/scripts/start-sk0.sh #! /bin/sh killall -9 dhclient sh /etc/netstart ifconfig -a If I ever have to reboot, I log in as root and execute this script and the network comes up fine. I then exit and log in as my normal user and startx. It was never more than an annoyance to me, so I can live like this.

Re: Don't know what else to do with DHCP...help??
Yes...what I did was completely delete the hostname line from my /etc/rc.conf and had my inconfig_sk0="DHCP" though this does seem somewhat problematic...every now and then I will boot up and it won't work...then I just reboot and all of a sudden it works *shrug* I fogured out what was wrong with starting X and you will probably have the same problem when you delete your hostname line from your rc.conf I googled it and found that a way to fix this problem isto simply delete the old .Xauthority fileI did that and now have my network and X back = D there may be (and probably is) a better way to accomplish this but this was just one way I found to get it to work...if someone has a better suggestion on how to do this I would be more than happy to hear about it = ) Thanks for all your help and good luck with getting your network to work at boot = ) Don --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Aloha Don > I am very happy I was able to help. > > One question for you before I answer yours.

Re: Don't know what else to do with DHCP...help??
Aloha Don I am very happy I was able to help. One question for you before I answer yours. I still have to kill dhclient and netstart after a reboot. Did you imply that after wiping out the hostname in rc.conf you can reboot and your dhcp is up? Now for your question. I have not had any problems starting x before or after. I was always redoing the /stand/sysinstall to get the dhcp up and then startx so that I had a network. Have you checked your /etc/hosts for the correct hostname? When I did not have that set properly, I had x complaining, but not just a grey screen.

Re: Don't know what else to do with DHCP...help??
Aloha This sounds a whole lot like my DHCP problem. It was being discussed on this list earlier last week. I have attached my thread for your perusal. I have the same ethernet card as you. There is a workaround in the attachment that I am using (I also created a script to do it) but if someone comes up with a real fix it would be muck better. Read through my attachment and see if you think we have the same problem.

Just a shot in the dark on my part, but if you're trying to install with a cable modem try power cycling the modem. I had a similar problem when switched out my NICs. It would hang for about 1-2 minutes on the dhclient part of the boot then not give me an IP. --- |> /\ \/ @ [EMAIL PROTECTED] DataSphere - Databases, back end web programming and networking 317.536.1858 ICQ: 21106703 "The only thing necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing." - Edmund Burke ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Re: Don't know what else to do with DHCP...help??
When I went to install everything worked just fine...I even installed over FTP...I chose my NIC and did automatic DHCP configuration. It worked like a charm... however my extacsy was to be shortlived.. when booting there is a long pause when the dhclient startsmy guess is it is querying the server for the dhcp info. however once it comes back up it shows me as having BROADCAST of 255.255.255.255 and nothing I have done has enabled me to fix it. What is the last entry in /var/db/dhclient.leases ? If there's something, does that make sense ? Anything dhclient related in /var/log/messages ? And how about running dhclient manually in the foreground ? As root, kill the running dhclient pid first, and then start: # dhclient -d rl0 where you should replace "rl0" by your own network card. Does that tell you something useful? Rob. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
