I am using DHCP. I would like to: 1) Start up with networking disabled, or rather, with dhclient disabled, because my other machine may have already grabbed the only dynamic IP address that my ISP will give me. 2) Start (may be after releasing the lease from my other machine) and stop dhclient at will. I tried bringing the network interface down with "ifconfig dc0 down", but "ifconfig -a" keeps on showing the interface as active, and "dhclient: send_packet: No route to host" messages keep on popping on my console.
