Thus spake Peter ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) [21/03/06 00:56]: : Hi everyone. I am troubleshooting a client (running OpenBSD 3.8) who : cannot connect to a Canadian cable provider (videotron.ca) with : dhclient. dhclient cannot find a dhcp server. Is there anything : special one needs to do besides 'dhclient <int>'? The connection is : made instantly when win2k box is connected directly to the modem.
Was the Win2k box connected first? Many (most?) Canadian cable providers cache the MAC address of the connected machine, and generally speaking, unplugging the cable modem for five minutes should re-set the cached address on their side. Otherwise... logs? - Damian
