hello all, 

My cable provider just changed my ip address and for some reason my
dhcp client is unable to pick that ip address up or netmask up.   I
tried using ifconfig inet "my ipaddress" netmask "255.255.255.0" but
no luck.    I also tried oneof my windows systems and it seemed to
pick it up fine.   Can anyone help?
