When using sysinstall (configure -> Networking -> Interfaces -> select your 
physical device) answer the question "Do you want to try DHCP configuration 
of the interface?" with "YES" or if you don't like sysinstall 
edit /etc/rc.conf and make sure you have a line reading:

ifconfig_fxp0="DHCP"

Make sure to replace fxp0 with your physical interface name (e.g: xl0 for the 
first 3com card, rl1 for the second Realtek card)

You may also want to add this line to /etc/dhclient.conf

send host-name "yourhostname";

man dhclient is your friend.
