Some ISP's have very short lease times; and your system may not be quick enough to get a lease. Another option is that you get your first lease before the firewill is fully set up; but that you cannot negotiate a lease after the firewall is there due to it blocking the negotiation process. Temporarily disabling the firewall(and nat) will tell you this. > Jan 25 03:03:00 world dhclient: Listening on BPF/vr0/00:40:33:5a:74:8a > Jan 25 03:03:00 world dhclient: Sending on BPF/vr0/00:40:33:5a:74:8a > Jan 25 03:03:00 world dhclient: Can't bind to dhcp address: Address already > in use This suggest that your dhclient can not bind to the port it needs. You may want to check what is bound to that port. See 'lsof' and 'netstat'. Dw To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
