Subject:   cable + dhclient

Hello, I have a little problem where I can not put my finger on the
problem. I have a friend who connects with cable from Adelphia Comm.
I setup his dhclient on a FreeBSD 4.2 box with NATD. When I issue
"dhclient ed0", I get an IP address, namerserver, subnetmask, and
the default gateway. I can ping the outside world with IP only.
I cant not do anything else. Cant telnet, web, ftp, nothing. I 
went through the mailing list archive and found that some people
suggested sending the hostname when the cable modem was initially
installed. Did that in the dhclient.conf file and it changed
nothing. If anyone can point out what I am doing wrong, I'll
appreciate it. Thanks!

Here are some config files:

dhclient.conf
-------------
# $FreeBSD: src/etc/dhclient.conf,v 1.2 1999/08/27 23:23:41 peter Exp $
#
#	This file is required by the ISC DHCP client.
#	See ``man 5 dhclient.conf'' for details.
#
#	In most cases an empty file is suffient for most people as the
#	defaults are usually fine.
#

timeout 60;
retry 60;
reboot 10;
select-timeout 5;
initial-interval 2;
#script "/etc/dhclient-script";

interface "ed0" {
	send host-name "heverin";
	request subnet-mask, broadcast-address, routers, 
		domain-name-servers, domain-name;
	require domain-name-servers;
}
