I'm have a FBSD 4.6 box connected to the internet using a cable modem. I use the DCHP client that comes as part of the basic install to auto configure the FBSD box with it's ISP assigned dynamic public ip address and it's DNS ip address. The box act like everything is configured correctly because I can access the internet ok. Ifconfig -a on the NIC device connected to the cable model gives inet 68.65.175.62 broadcast 68.65.175.255 Every morning I have these 2 console messages 'DHCLIENT: New Network number : 68.65.175.0' 'DHCLIENT: New Broadcast address : 68.65.175.255' When I issue the ifconfig command in the morning after getting those two messages, I still get inet 68.65.175.62 broadcast 68.65.175.255. I thought the 'DHCLIENT: New Network number : 68.65.175.0' message is telling me that my public ip address has been changed from 68.65.175.62 to 68.65.175.0 Can someone explain what is happening here?
