Re: Binding dhclient to a particular network interface

Terry,

I tried adding the interface line to the dhclient configuration file (and
then rebooting), but it had no effect. Entering the "sockstat -l4" command
showed that local address was still "*:68".

"man dhclient" suggests that the interface needs to be specified on the command line. Try adding:

dhclient_flags="ed1"

...to /etc/rc.conf, and double-check that you already have that interface configured to use DHCP while you're there. :-)
