It seems as though the failure to contact the DHCP server was only momentary, but just long enough to ensure that my gateway box was assigned an unregistered IP address by the modem. The order of events was roughly 1) DHCP server off line 2) Modem fails to contact server 3) Modem assigns unregistered IP address to FBSD box. 4) DHCP server comes back on line 5) I check modem lights, which are all green, since the modem can now communicate with the server. > >was new, and generally the techs can distinguish between their cloacal > >anatomy and a geophysical excavation. > > > two types of techs.
