HI, I am trying to configure the DHCP client for use with the @home network.
I am able to get an IP from the DHCP server but fail to get any sort of
internet connectivity.  I am unable to ping or trace out.  My requests would
simply stall and eventually I would get a hostname lookup failure.  However
I figured it was a problem with the rules in my rc firewall.  So when I
disabled the natd options in my rc.conf (natd_enable and natd_interface was
commented) and changed my firewall_type to open I was able to obtain an IP
and ping out and have full internet connectivity.  So I believe my
dhclient.conf and dhclient-script is properly configured since I seem to
have full functionality.  Does anybody have any suggestions on what may be
the problem?
