I've tried = with both the standard dhclient and the isc dhclient from ports. Hi everyone, I just wanted to follow-up on my own mail to tell that the problem is = "solved". Cloning the mac address from my mac seemed to work once, but not = consistently. I never found out exactly what the OS X and the FreeBSD dhcp client are = doing differently, but after turning off the cable modem again for a = longer while the FreeBSD dhcp client got an IP. For some reason it appears that OS X is able to "move" the IP to another = mac address/client much faster; but honestly after getting it working on = the FreeBSD box I didn't want to fuzz with it anymore as it's working = where I want it now. Thanks to everyone who helped with suggestions, questions and advice! - ask --=20 http://develooper.com/ - http://askask.com/
