And that is as it should be with most dhcient requests. However here in NY, and a few other places around the country, you MUST send the RR server the proper PASSWORD as the RR personnel called (silly cluesless bastards) in order to receive an IP. As it turns out their servers, here, are set up to only respone if you provide the MAC address. As for dhcpd, you have to at the very least assign a scope, netmask, and default gateway before the server can dole out IPs. Don't get the dhcp client confused with the dhcpd server. Oh yes and I did forget one thing in /etc/rc.conf it is a goot idea to add; ifconfig_YOUR-INTERFACE="dhcp" so that rc.networks will start the whole dhclient routine... "Jonathan M.
