No working leases in present database - sleeping. i run a tcpdump while requesting a lease and for every DHCPDISCOVER i get this line: 2. 999913 IP 0.0.0.0.68 > 255.255.255.255.67: UDP, length 300 then a line of: mac.number > mac.number, Unknown Ethertype (0xb20e), length 61: i'm typing this because i can't get the machine on line... restarted tha laptop many times and the dhcp server too. the dhclinet on another older laptop works fine with the same server... i really need this solved.... soon... never seen it before... there is nothing much on line about it. the same t30 laptop was working fine with 5.4... thanks....> > 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... > > thanks... > > > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to > "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" >

I noticed the same behaviour with a couple of hw broadband routers. AFAIR this was also reported back to the list, still no fix was provided. Cheers, Marcin. PS. questions@freebsd.org and freebsd-questions@freebsd.org is the same list. The first one has this name becouse of compatibility with former setup of mailing list names.

What if you dont know what IP you will get from the lease? That's what working implementation of DHCP is for...

The plain presence of a > dhcp server doesn't mean that you're unable to use static > configuration.What if you take your laptop to an university to hold a lecture and you are unable to run dhcp? None of the students know of the IPs avaliable in the range. Some systems disallow traffic unless your MAC-address is registered in their database. Then they open up their firewall for you. Etc, etc... Use your imagination.

Up-down-up-down-up-down... I keep expecting it to either lose weight or make a mess in the slot <bg> One is a Xircom RealPort, so it's not the "dongle", as is so often the case with the CE3s. It works only if I force it to 10BaseT, half duplex, even manually configured with ifconfig. It's not all bad. ath and ndis cards behave themselves, as do my 3Com 905Bs (if one discounts imp@'s PCI pointy hat of last week - there were many dead rottweilers in my test machine at that point). These are small prices to pay for 6.0's goodness. Without a doubt, 6.0 is the best release I have used, bar none, and the WiFi features that wpaul@, sam@ et. al. have worked so hard to give us are excellent. sos@ deserves a mention for the vastly improved ATA controller support list that nobody seems to notice, too. FWIW, I did think the switch to OpenBSD's dhclient was poorly thought out, since the ISC client did things like DDNS, which I needed. I managed to work around the loss of these features, but it still feels like I've an arm missing when configuring interfaces... -- Matt Dawson. matt@mattsnetwork.co.uk MTD15-RIPE OpenNIC M_D9 MD51-6BONE
