Hi there,
> I do not understand why dhcp is talking to my ISP's DNS server
Typically, the DHCP server will supply you with
the DNS server address, and dhclient will rewrite
the /etc/resolv.conf to reflect that. Unless you
configure otherwise, your host will use your ISP's
DNS server.
> why it's using 255.255.255.255 for an ip address
I think that is normal, at least that's what I
see in my internal LAN. When you don't have an
IP lease, dhclient will use 255.255.255.255.
