When I do dhclient rl0, and it doesnt give an on screen error it just sets the ip to 0.0.0.0. Other times it spouts alot of text with this line at the top. Feb 5 22:17:52 c68 dhclient: Can't bind to dhcp address: Address already in use. My isp says its not a problem with their system. Nor is there any settings to stop the machine from using the dhcp server. Thank you for all the assistance so far.
