I'm currently not at the location with the network without a DHCP server, but IIRC I tried that already and it didn't help. It also seems to me that my problem is a bit different: In my case dhclient gets its "lease", but doesn't configure the interface according to it if it is a static lease (and not a lease received from a DHCP server): If there is a DHCP server everything works: nobby:/etc# /etc/rc.d/netif start DHCPDISCOVER on sis0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 4 DHCPOFFER from 192.168.2.1 DHCPREQUEST on sis0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 DHCPACK from 192.168.2.1 bound to 192.168.2.3 -- renewal in 7200 seconds. lo0: flags=8049<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 16384 inet6 ::1 prefixlen 128 inet6 fe80::1%lo0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x3 inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000 sis0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 options=8<VLAN_MTU> inet6 fe80::2c0:9fff:fe28:2460%sis0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1 inet 192.168.2.3 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.2.255 ether 00:c0:9f:28:24:60 media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX <full-duplex>) status: active nobby:/etc# If there isn't a DHCP server (simulated in my home network by shutting the DHCP server down): nobby:/etc# rm /var/db/dhclient.leases.sis0 nobby:/etc# /etc/rc.d/netif start DHCPDISCOVER on sis0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 4 DHCPDISCOVER on sis0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 6 DHCPDISCOVER on sis0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 1 No DHCPOFFERS received.
