[buug] Samba and DHCP

[Skip Evans]

Hi all,

I was having a problem with a Linksys router
that kept giving an IP address to my FreeBSD
box and replacing it's static one, making it
in accessible from the outside (it's basically
just a list server at this point).

To fix the problem I put this in rc.conf

# DHCP disabled 2002-09-18 to prevent linksys from sending
# its IP to this box -- skip
# ifconfig_sis0="DHCP"
hostname="ncseweb2.org"

A friend is helping me get Samba up and going and
thinks this is preventing Samba from working.

Anyone think this is the case? Any kind of resolution
would be helpful. If a diagram of the network layout would
be helpful, contact me off list and I'll attach it to a response.

Thanks! Missed the last couple of buug meetings but plan
on coming back soon.
