Posted: Tue Dec 10, 2002 3:37 am Post subject: Anyone tried dhclient with Gentoo? |
|
|
I am a recent FreeBSD convert and have been running Gentoo for about 4 months. Here's the rub. When I ran FreeBSD as my home dsl router, fw, dns, and www, my IP never changed. I could request an infinite lease from my dsl provider and get it. I went 2 years without change. Now, my IP changes frequently. The difference, so far as I can tell, is dhcpcd (Gentoo) versus dhclient (FreeBSD). Can any validate this intuition and secondly, has anyone tried dhclient with FreeBSD. If so, how do I set /etc/conf.d/net to recognize dhclient instead of dhcpcd?
Thanks,

man dhcpcd wrote: | -l leasetime
Specifies (in seconds) the recommended lease time
to the server. (Note that the server can override
this value if it sees fit). This value is used in
the DHCP_DISCOVER message. The default is infinite
(0xffffffff).
-s [ipaddr]
Sends DHCP_INFORM message to DHCP server using
ipaddr. The optional ipaddr parameter must be in
the form xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx. If no ipaddr parameter
is given on the command line dhcpcd will use the IP
address currently assigned to the interface. If
there is no IP address currently assigned to the
interface dhcpcd will use previously obtained IP
address stored in /etc/dhcpc/dhcpcd-<inter-
face>.cache file. |

alright, I requested a lease for 999999999. We'll see how long it goes. Thanks for your help! _________________ --------> Why don't you bastards start wearing human skins?<-------- |
