thanks Duane... but there is something really screwed up with the dhclient out of the box. i just tried reinstalling just vary basic system and even at the configuration prompt to set up the fxp0 when i select dhcp nothing happens... so i'm going back to 5.4. if i have to spend 2 more days on something as basic as dhclient..... i mean i have to eat too... thanks... > Hope this helps. > > --Duane Whitty > _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
