Re: 6.0.1 upgrade dhcp problem

[Ray Phillips <r.phillips%uq.edu.au@localhost>]

Thanks for the suggestions.


Yes, the dhcp server does answer pings.

I tried booting with the no `ACPI, no SMP' option but the `c: 
Configure network' menu command still didn't configure the NICs 
properly.


These commands were executed after using 6.0.1's  e: Utilities -> c: 
Configure network  menu item:

# ifconfig fxp0
fxp0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
