Hi Keith,

I'm not sure I understand your question. Do you want to find out what IP
address was assigned to your FreeBSD system by a DHCP server? If so,
there's several ways:

ifconfig interface

where interface is the name of your interface  e.g. ed0, rl0, etc

or

more /var/db/dhclient.leases | grep address

should do it.

Or, are you trying to find the address of the DHCP server itself? If so,
try:

more /var/db/dhclient.leases | grep server
