That can't possibly work in IP, regardless of your operating system or version of the DHCP client. > Listening on BPF/ep0/00:20:af:26:b0:3c > Sending on BPF/ep0/00:20:af:26:b0:3c > Sending on Socket/fallback/fallback-net > DHCPREQUEST on ep0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 > DHCPACK from 10.17.44.251 I assume this is why you think your gateway has on a net-10 address. In reality, it has nothing to do with your gateway -- it's just the address of the DHCP server. dhclient doesn't normally tell you the address of your gateway. You can get that from netstat easily enough, assuming it's been set. > New Network Number: 216.164.36.0 > New Broadcast Address: 216.164.36.255 > bound to 216.164.36.XXX -- renewal in 1073741823 seconds. > tinlizzie $ Jan 25 11:46:19 tinlizzie dhclient: select: Invalid argument > Jan 25 11:46:19 tinlizzie dhclient: exiting. I'm not sure, but this could be a syntax error in your dhclient.conf. Maybe you have "select timeout" instead of "select-timeout" in that file? Good luck.
