question

i cant get freebsd to work with DHCP, the only way i can get it = online is to=20 set it to a static IP

i will go into /stand/sysinstall, and select my NIC, it asks to = search for=20 DHCP servers i say yes, then a bunch of kernal lines come up

then i do a control-C, it then goes into the NIC config screen, = everything is=20 filled out correctly, it finds the server, then it has my comp name, = then my=20 complete online address, then my DNS servers and gateway info, it pulls up my default subnet mask, then i = say ok, then=20 it asks to bring it up, i select yes,

then i cant browse or ping any = site, i=20 reboot

still not online (no pinging any = sites work=20 nor browsing),

but if i set it to static = everything is ok, (I=20 DONT HAVE A STATIC IP, IT IS A LEASED IP FOR 1 WEEK)

how do i fix this
