Hi list,
I've been experimenting and googling for hours w/ no luck. All I
want to do is run dhcp and then replace the ip address of the
interface with a new static ip afterwards. I've been looking at the
/etc/dhclient.conf man pages, but they don't seem to help. I can do it
from rc.conf like:
ifconfig_em0="inet 1.2.3.4"
but then I loose all the other dhcp parameters like dns and stuff. Is
it really that hard???
thanks - Nikolaj
Your rc.conf line is incomplete.
Even if that line was complete, your route would be missing
Your /etc/resolv.conf gets rewritten by dhclient every time it renews
the IP.
Given your rc.conf statement is incomplete, is why you lose 100%
connectivity.
Basic networking on a LAN (meaning: NO INTERNET) is IP address and subnet
basic networking ON the internet needs a router in addition to the above
full internet working needs DNS server in addition to the above.
You don't even hit the Basic w/out Internet.
Please either give details from rc.conf, or read it's manpage so we can
point you to the manpage again.
