That's thing. I think they are the same. Here is my main rig, fireball. root@fireball / # cat /etc/conf.d/net config_enp3s0="dhcp" dns_servers_enp3s0="8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4" root@fireball / # NAS box: nas / # cat /etc/conf.d/net config_enp3s0="dhcp" dns_servers_enp3s0="8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4" nas / # One says it is defaulting, the other doesn't. I've used grep to search, I've looked everywhere I can think of that even might have some config file for network stuff and I can't find any difference. On your other reply. I think I did set up the router to set IP addresses. I know I did for my phone and printer. That printer used to drive me nuts. Every time the power would blink, it wouldn't print. No IP address so can't access it except through that tiny little display and the buttons on the printer. What a drag. o_O I'm missing something. I set up the network on this rig almost a decade ago. I have very little memory of how I did it. I always thought I could just refer back to the install guide. Didn't occur to me they would remove stuff. Dale :-) :-) P. S. Back to mowing grass.
