Did you ever get any real help with this? My thought: are you telling the interface to use DHCP in /etc/rc.conf? For example, for the RealTek 8139 family of NICs, the following should be in /etc/rc.conf: ifconfig_rl0="DHCP" The 'rl0' would vary to another driver name for another type of NIC. If I understood your original question correctly, you desire the FBSD box to grab its own configuration data from the router for your LAN interface --- I think that ought to do it. Best of luck Kevin D.
