I have been trying to set up my first freebsd box using dhcp. I have tried
a few things but I am unable to get an IP address
from my ISP, Starpower via cable modem. I have tried a few things but I am
stuck right now. Does anyone have any
suggestions. I am running version 4.4 of freebsd on a Dell Pentium 1. Here
are some of my configs:
This is the ifconfig w/ the cable modedm plugged in.
gateway# ifconfig
xl0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
inet 10.111.111.1 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 10.111.111.255
