Hello,

I am no= t using DSL, but I did have problems switching over from a static IP
w= hen Attbi switched to dhcp. Your issue sounds like the IP least is not be= ing
renewed in FBSD. I found that the solution was in the #/etc/dhcile= nt.conf.
The default is the have an empty file. I found a article on d= hcp at
http://www.freebsddiary.org/athome.php it gave an example dhcli= ent.conf to
follow. The information needed to setup is the hostname an= d network device.

Here is my dhclient.conf. It requests everything= .

interface "fxp0" {
send host-name "c#######-a";
request su= bnet-mask, broadcast-address, time-offset, routers, domain-name,
domai= n-name-servers;
require subnet-mask;
media "media autoselect";}
