I have been trying to set up my first freebsd box using dhcp.  I have tried
a few things but I am unable to get an IP address
from my ISP, Starpower via cable modem.  I have tried a few things but I am
stuck right now.  Does anyone have any
suggestions.  I am running version 4.4 of freebsd on a Dell Pentium 1.  Here
are some of my configs:

This is the ifconfig w/ the cable modedm plugged in.

gateway# ifconfig
xl0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
        inet 10.111.111.1 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 10.111.111.255
        ether 00:50:da:20:66:48
        media: Ethernet 10baseT/UTP (10baseT/UTP <half-duplex>)
