    Subject: DHCP servers, or getting online with cable modem


    question

    i cant get freebsd to work with DHCP, the only way i can get it =
online is to set it to a static IP

    i will go into /stand/sysinstall, and select my NIC, it asks to =
search for DHCP servers i say yes, then a bunch of kernal lines come up

    then i do a control-C, it then goes into the NIC config screen, =
everything is filled out correctly, it finds the server, then it has my =
comp name, then my complete online address, then my DNS servers and =
gateway info, it pulls up my default subnet mask, then i say ok, then it =
asks to bring it up, i select yes,=20

    then i cant browse or ping any site, i reboot

    still not online (no pinging any sites work nor browsing),=20

    but if i set it to static everything is ok, (I DONT HAVE A STATIC =
IP, IT IS A LEASED IP FOR 1 WEEK)

    how do i fix this
