Sorry for the simple question, but I'm new to ethernets...

root:~# dhclient ed0
ifconfig: ioctl (SIOCDIFADDR): Can't assign requested address
dhclient: New IP Address(ed0): 10.100.20.163
dhclient: New Subnet Mask (ed0): 255.255.254.0
dhclient: New Broadcast Address(ed0): 10.100.21.255
dhclient: New Routers: 10.100.20.1


I read the manpage on netintro and dhclient, but I couldn't figure it out.
Is the ifconfig message an error?  My connection seems to be working fine.
