I have Verizon DSL which uses DHCP. I am using FreeBSD 4.4-RELEASE-p4

I'm not sure if this is a problem with my setup or Verizon's end, but
thought I would ask here first since I'll get quicker responses then from
Verizon customer support. Every once in awhile there will be a connection
drop. Everything works fine then all of the sudden everything stops. I use
NATD for my LAN and I start getting failed to write packet back errors. I do
a traceroute to any site and the 1st hop on is nothing but *'s.

I have sat and waited up to 5 minutes during these burps and nothing ever
seem to come back on its own. I kill -9 dhclient and start it again and I'm
back on the net. The last 2 times it burped on me tonight, I didn't wait a
second..as soon as it dropped I killed dhclient and restarted and was
immediately back on the net.

This is why I am maybe wondering if its something with my DHCP setup. I am
using all the defaults..just a blank dhclient.conf file. Anyone have any
suggestions or comment on this. It will be appreciated. Thanks.

Sam
