Hi there, I just read through this thread. I run dhclient on 6.0 with no problem at all. Normally, it will start sending a DHCPREQUEST then DHCPDISCOVER. Some questions: - Do you use a dhclient.conf from your previous install? These are incompatible. The new dhclient is a port from OpenBSD who completely rewrote dhclient. The old is from ISC. - Have you tried to toggle timeout/retry in dhclient.conf? - Can you sniff traffic on the NIC? - Do you have any firewalling set? or did you forget to disable ipfw? I think that ipfw defaults to block everything, I'm not sure if that is new in 6.0. Yes, I know the last two are somewhat basic stuff, but sometimes one just forget to check it.
