I have a DSL modem and I am using DHCP on my FreeBSD machine. The DHCP successfully grabs the IP address for my ethernet (ed0) as well as the gateway and name servers from my ISP. However, it keeps assigning a 255.255.255.255 netmask to my ed0. When I use a windows box on the same DSL connection, it gets a 255.255.255.0 address. I contacted the ISP and he confirms that the DHCP server is sending a 255.255.255.0 netmask. I can't figure out what is going on. My dhclient.conf is empty and a I configured the DHCP on my machine using /stand/sysinstall. Is there some default setting I am missing or is there some way to override the netmask I am being provided?
