Your issue sounds like the IP least is not being renewed in FBSD. I found that the solution was in the #/etc/dhcilent.conf. The default is the have an empty file. I found a article on dhcp at http://www.freebsddiary.org/athome.php it gave an example dhclient.conf to follow. The information needed to setup is the hostname and network device. Here is my dhclient.conf. It requests everything. interface "fxp0" { send host-name "c#######-a"; request subnet-mask, broadcast-address, time-offset, routers, domain-name, domain-name-servers; require subnet-mask; media "media autoselect";} 72yan > FYI, > > I use Verizon DSL with a DHCP.
