Hi everyone, I just wanted to follow-up on my own mail to tell that the problem is "solved". Cloning the mac address from my mac seemed to work once, but not consistently. I never found out exactly what the OS X and the FreeBSD dhcp client are doing differently, but after turning off the cable modem again for a longer while the FreeBSD dhcp client got an IP. For some reason it appears that OS X is able to "move" the IP to another mac address/client much faster; but honestly after getting it working on the FreeBSD box I didn't want to fuzz with it anymore as it's working where I want it now. Thanks to everyone who helped with suggestions, questions and advice! - ask -- http://develooper.com/ - http://askask.com/ _______________________________________________ freebsd-net@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-net To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-net-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
