I'm runnng my newly built PC as a DHCP client of a Linux box. The previous Linux client and any MS Windows clients worked fine "straight out of the box". With the FreeBSD 5.1 - 10 client, if I enable it as a DHCP client then it doesn't seem to use the DNS caching slave that is on the DHCP server. But all other clients can resolve URLs on the Internet.
If I log onto a virtual terminal I can use cvsup OK but if I start up KDE and use it in a KDE Konsole it comes back with: mk1 root 510-->cd ~ mk1 root 511-->pwd /root ~ mk1 root 512-->cvsup stable-supfile Cannot get IP address of my own host -- is its hostname correct? ~ mk1 root 513--> I have left /etc/dhclient.conf blank. If I replace the /etc/rc.conf file entry with a hard coded IP address everything works again. Any ideas gratefully recieved, Owen (Newbie to BSD) _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
