ifconfig_dc0="DHCP" # 5.3 ifconfig_ep0="DHCP" # 4.8
Also the 5.3 box has
ipv6_enable="YES"
I don't understand what the ipv6 is about although guess it comes from /stand/sysinstall config. Also don't get why 4.8 is using EP0 for the nic while 5.3 uses DC0 for the nic - don't know if this is because of the FBSD version or my hardware on each box.
Here's the problem, hope the preceding is a good background to it. Find that the IP address for the 5.3 box gets changed on a fairly regular basis by (I guess) my xp gateway so that I then have to change the gateway hosts file, the 5.3 hosts file and 5.3 rc.conf file.
The 4.8 box's IP addr has been stable.
Any idea where I start to fix this? Would like the 5.3 box's IP addr to remain stable as well.
