I've seen this problem intermittently before. Every once in a while, this happens (the adapter it happens on doesn't matter):
# dhclient de0 DHCPREQUEST on de0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 DHCPREQUEST on de0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 DHCPDISCOVER on de0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 5 DHCPDISCOVER on de0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 12 DHCPDISCOVER on de0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 12 DHCPOFFER from 192.168.0.1 DHCPREQUEST on de0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 DHCPREQUEST on de0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 DHCPDISCOVER on de0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 7 DHCPDISCOVER on de0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 15 DHCPDISCOVER on de0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 8 DHCPDISCOVER on de0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 10 DHCPDISCOVER on de0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 7 DHCPDISCOVER on de0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 7 DHCPDISCOVER on de0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 7 No DHCPOFFERS received # This doesn't make any sense, since you can clearly see it getting a DHCPOFFER Could this have anything to do with this: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2005-November/105257.html The difference there is that those lines say "rejected", but the configuration file there is configured to reject 192.168.0.1 I haven't touched dhclient.conf, and this has been happening since 3.8 to 4.2. I don't know if this is a bug or just something confusing. Has anyone else ever seen this? -Nick
