As I was rather hasty asking questions first and looking later. I had not liked the search results I was getting for other matters on the archive, so I skipped them this time. Dumb!!! It seems dhclient is a very good tool for this. I read the dhclient and dhclient.conf man pages a few times and built up my /etc/dhclient.conf file . I made sure my 3Com nic attached to the adsl model was set properly and was listed in the dhclient.conf properly. >From a command line, I entered dhclient <carriage return> and there I was. NICE! The more I use FreeBSD the more I understand how good it is. Changes like that, would normally require reboots and prayers, FBSD just does it!
