Is dhcp only one way? If it's possible, how do you find out what
your NetBSD box's name is? I can go from home to work, which has a
fixed IP, but what if I want to upload some stuff from work to
home, where my NAT box has to use dhclient.
While dhclient seems to be working fine (Yippee!), I get these
messages while booting up (sorry, still NetBSD 1.4.2):
"ifconfig SIOCDIFADDR: Can't assign address"
and
"Can't connect to sysconf socket: No such file or directory."
Can these be ignored, or is there something I should be doing to
fix these? TIA
