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?
