Thanks.] I have a system, running r263263, where dhclient is misbehaving. (Yes - this is CURRENT, but I have no reason to believe this inherently a version-specific issue. I am also on current@, and nothing like this has been reported.) The system has an Intel Pro/1000 ethernet card, "em0", connected to a Arris CM820 cable modem. This is the relevant portion of dhclient.conf: http://users.rcn.com/dhclient.conf Upon execution, I get this: http://users.rcn.com/roberthuff/dhcp_offer but then: http://users.rcn.com/roberthuff/dhc_ifconfig "netstat -r" also shows no gateway. However, when I look at dhclient.leases: http://users.rcn.com/roberthuff/dhclient.leases.em0 I get the machine working by configuring the relevant data manually. I have no idea where to start trying to figure this out; this have "just worked" for so long. Help please? Respectfully, Robert Huff
