Hello,
     I have been having issues with the dhclient 
in NETBSD-4.0RC1.

This is what I have, Realtek 8139 ethernet card.
(gets recognized fine as rtk0)

I have dhclient=YES in rc.conf, during boot 
I get the normal dhclient messages

+ 

ip length 576 disagrees with bytes received 580, 
the main problem is nameserver seems to stop working altogether. 
I need to ping the address of the website and then use the ip 
to get to the page in firefox.

/etc/resolv.conf--> proper nameserver 10.1.1.1 
(which is same as freebsd (this one works fine) 
and my broadband router ip)
/etc/myname -->is set to proper name

This happens even if I use /etc/dhclient.conf, where 
I ask for all the standard things, including the name-server.

Even with static Ip i have the same problem.... 
nameserver stops working.

Any ideas what I can do about this?


cheers,
