Hi Im running FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE on my gateway and for the last week or so it cant renew its dhcp-lease. At boot-time it sends a request to broadcast: DHCPREQUEST on fxp0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 And then it gets an DHCPACK from the gateway. (not 172.21.248.127) But then the machine tries to renew the lease I keep getting messages like this: Feb 23 18:29:06 cone dhclient[1623]: DHCPREQUEST on fxp0 to 172.21.248.127 port 67 Feb 23 18:29:06 cone dhclient[1623]: SENDING DIRECT Feb 23 18:29:33 cone dhclient[1623]: DHCPREQUEST on fxp0 to 172.21.248.127 port 67 Feb 23 18:29:33 cone dhclient[1623]: SENDING DIRECT until the lease runs out and then the connection drops. I guess 172.21.248.127 is the real dhcp-server. A 'dhclient fxp0' sends a new request to 255.255.255.255 and it immediately fixes the connection. -- Peter Ankerst?l peter@pean.org http://www.pean.org/

I guess a workaround is to set a shorter rebind-interval.. -- Peter Ankerst?l peter@pean.org http://www.pean.org/

If so, switching to the dhclient from 7.1 should fix it. -- Brooks -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
