Hello,

I did have problems switching over from a static IP when Attbi switched to 
dhcp. Your issue sounds like the IP least is not being renewed. Ifound that 
the solution was in the #/etc/dhcilent.conf. The default is the have an empty 
file. I found a article on dhcp at http://www.freebsddiary.org/athome.php it 
gave an example dhclient.conf to follow. The information needed to setup is 
the hostname and network device.

Here is my dhclient.conf.

interface "fxp0" {
         send host-name "c#######-a";
         request subnet-mask, broadcast-address, time-offset, routers, 
domain-name, 
domain-name-servers;
         require subnet-mask;
         media "media autoselect";}
