Well i allways get the same IP from the DHCP server from my ISP so I don't
think this may be the problem. Even if my cable modem is off for an hour or
so. So I think theoretical everyone has his own (half static)IP number, but
can be changed if the ISP finds it neccesery in the future e.g. ip expansion
or so.

Hi
 
Don't know about your cable modem but it sounds like it does the same as
mine.  They have a build in DHCP server and your PC will grab an address
from the cable modem itself if it can't find a DHCP server up-stream.  You
can test the theory by removing the lead from the back of the cable modem
and restarting dhclient!!!!!

Subject: Weird IP problem!




My setup: 
FreeBSD4.4-RELEASE connected to a cablemodem via rl0 
rl1 is connected to a HUB and 2 clients 
And the machine acts as a firewall/NAT config 

Yesterday my internet connection was dead, the cablemodem was acting
strange(the lights) and I did a power recycle on the modem, nothing happend,
same results.

After that I found this in my log:

It is very strange and i do not understand what may have happend here. Was
it a error by my ISP or was it a intrusion attempt?

After this i killed my dhclient and started it up again, assigning me my
original ip address. And everything was fine. 
But I would like to know what happend here. Anyone have some ideas?? 
I would like to hear them! 

Sincerly 
Stef
