Howdy everyone. Learning a lot here. Making great progress on my first FBSD box. Alas, I have another question. When I first started this box up it had no problems getting a DHCP address from my cable modem provider (rr.com). For some reason now the system refuses to get a DHCP addy. I can plug a static address in and it works fine (until the DHCP server gives out my address to someone else). I know there is nothing wrong with the cable modem as I can get leases from it using my wintendo box. the command i use in rc.conf is "ifconfig_xl0="DHCP" also when i use /stand/sysinstall and goto the network setup it asks if i want to obtain a DHCP lease, i tell it yes and nothing comes back to fill in the blanks. Ideas on how to correct? thanks.
