The problem for me is when I switch between my home network (192.168.0.x) and my work network (10.x.x.x), in which cases the source IP address it is using is invalid and I think the DHCP server is thus ignoring the request. Removing the leases file and restarting dhclient seems to be the only fix. It also seems to have recently been broken (like in the last few weeks or months). -- John Baldwin <jhb_at_FreeBSD.org> <>< http://www.FreeBSD.org/~jhb/ "Power Users Use the Power to Serve" = http://www.FreeBSD.orgReceived on Wed Jul 28 2004 - 02:27:41 UTC
