I am using a cable modem service that = asigns an IP with a dhcp server. I, therefore, need to run a dhcp = client. I found version 2 on FreeBSD.org and I have version 1 installed = on my computer. My problem is that I do not know how to enable the dhcp client. In what = config file do I enable it??? I can find no mention of dhcp in the = rc.conf file. That seems to be where most of the networking decisions = are at work. I know that I am recognizing the NIC because I can get out = on my local network with a static IP....however, I need to be able to = reach the internet for the things I want to learn. I realize that working with anyone as new to Unix as myself can be = difficult, but any help would be appreciated, even if it is to just = point me towards the correct references. Thank you.
