Presuming you have DHCP correctly configured, you should see syslog messages (at user.notice) from dhclient like this: dhclient: New Network Number: 68.100.144.0 dhclient: New Broadcast Address: 68.100.151.255 dhclient: New IP Address (dc0): 68.100.145.31 dhclient: New Subnet Mask (dc0): 255.255.248.0 dhclient: New Broadcast Address (dc0): 68.100.151.255 dhclient: New Routers: 68.100.144.1 Restart dhclient to see this. How are you logging user.notice messages? Are you logging console facility messages? Do you have ifconfig_$if="DHCP" in your rc.conf? -Andrew- -- _______________________________________________________________________ | -Andrew J.
