question

i cant get freebsd to work with DHCP, the only way i can get it = online is=20 to set it to a static IP

i will go into /stand/sysinstall, and select my NIC, it asks to = search=20 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,=20 everything is filled out correctly, it finds the server, then it has = my comp=20 name, then my complete online address, then my DNS servers and = gateway info,=20 it pulls up my default subnet = mask, then i=20 say ok, then it asks to bring it up, i select yes,

then i cant browse or ping any = site, i=20 reboot

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

but if i set it to static = everything is=20 ok, (I DONT HAVE A STATIC IP, IT IS A LEASED IP FOR 1 = WEEK)

how do i fix this
