Christos,

Thanks  I will try turning on PlugnPray on my 3Com cards. As far as config files go the dhcp howto
mentions a file called netstart.local. I can't find that anywhere in my system.  the howto mentions
adding the following line "dhclient ep0" to netstart.local.
I do have the file netstart, is this what he/she means? I am running NetBSD 1.4 maybe the files are
different from 1.3 ? . It takes a while to check on this stuff because my NetBSD is on the same
machine as my Windoze 98 machine.
