Hi,

I recently installed FreeBSD 4.2 on my laptop and i'm really glad with it,
but there is one little problem that still forces me to use this ms-windows
thingy... my dhcp ISP.  I got Compaq Laptop with a supported Ethernet card,
a 3Com Megahertz.. It's no problem cause I gave it once a fixed IP address
and it worked very well..

But.. as soon as I wanted to get my laptop online without going thru my
(BSD!) gateway, it began to do funny.  I got a cable modem so I plugged the
3com pcmcia into the CableModem.. and did a reboot.. okay, the ep0 interface
(my 3Com pcmcia card) was still 10.0.0.5, pretty normal.  But, I've tried a
lot of things now, i've written the man files over and over again, i guess i
even know them by heart now.. and I searched your site.. but no answer.  I
found on that the problem is in dhclient .. It gives me address 0.0.0.0..
Can you help me? So i can finally get rid of this windows thing?

Thank you in advance,
Michael Hendrickx
