Hi,
I have setup a new BSD machine. All is running but I still have problem to
connect to the network.
At boot time, the NIC is found and with DHCP it get an IP. Everything is
fine during areound 10/15 minutes then it lost the name resolutions.
A ping with IP is working but a ping with name return:
ping: Cannot resolve "XXXXX" (Host name lookup failure)
A reboot not always solve the problem.
The dhclient.conf is this one:
interface "le0" {
send host-name "maiko.xxxxxxx.xx";
request subnet-mask, broadcast-address, time-offset, routers,
domain-name, domain-name-servers;
require subnet-mask, domain-name-servers;
}
interface "le1" {
send host-name "maikolocal";
request subnet-mask, broadcast-address, time-offset, routers,
domain-name, domain-name-servers;
require subnet-mask, domain-name-servers;
}
dmesg for the NIC:
# dmesg | grep le0
le0 at pci0 dev 16 function 0: PCnet-PCI Ethernet
le0: address 00:50:56:54:a8:ae
le0: 8 receive buffers, 2 transmit buffers
le0: interrupting at irq 9
# dmesg | grep le1
le1 at pci0 dev 17 function 0: PCnet-PCI Ethernet
le1: address 00:50:56:e9:0c:d3
le1: 8 receive buffers, 2 transmit buffers
le1: interrupting at irq 11
Where should I start looking ?
Thanks
Laurent\
