I always have to reboot the machine and then it gets one. I have tried dhclient and dhclient fxp0 in the command line. This releases my IP address changing it to 0.0.0.0, but doesn't renew and get me my new IP (172.30.X.X or 192.168.X.X, depending on my location) I have had this issue with 4.3 and 4.4 Do I need anything special in my /etc/dhclient.conf?
