Description Faris 2006-05-02 14:40:21 UTC 
I'm using dell 8200. I'm trying to configure the DHCP server , It's not working.
In my Dmesg there was something like Giant Locked and I'm unable to connect to the internet.
Thanks

Hello Faris,

you'll get better results if you send a mail with your issue to one of 
the FreeBSD mailing lists[1], in this case questions@freebsd.org. The 
problem report database is a platform for solving specific problems that 
are already encircled. Your problem seems to be very general.

You should tell the *accurate* error message from your log file if you 
want useful feedback. Furthermore it looks like that you have more than 
one problem. Setting up a DHCP server doesn't make sense if networking 
doesn't work properly. I would deal with this at first.

How did you configured your network adapter in /etc/rc.conf? What's the 
configuration of your LAN? Show the output of "ifconfig" and "netstat 
-r". After you've told this, then somebody might be able to give advise.
