have you added any system infor to your dhclient.conf?
<p>In a few situations that I run accross (mostly cheap & crapy cable
providers) you'll need atleast the following to support DHCP properly...
<p>inside /etc/dhclient.conf
<p>interface "fxp0" {
<br> send host-name "bassale";
<br> send dhcp-client-indentifier 00:d0:b7:e6:fd:11;
<br> request subnet-mask, broadcast-address, time-offset,
routers,
<br>
domain-name, dmoain-name-servers, host-name;
<br> require subnet-mask, domain-name-servers;
<br>}
<p>Please bear in mind that you will need to use your own interface identifier,
hostname and MAC address to make this work. If the site is indeed runnig
DHCP then you should be good..
<p>Cheers,

<blockquote TYPE=CITE>I have been trying for several months to establish
an internet connection via earthlink DSL (DHCP) using my freeBsd box with
no success. They (earthlink) do not provide for any OS other than
win95/98. They use Ivasion's winpeot software package to establish
a PPP link. I have gone through several onlines docs to try
to estabish a ppp connection with dhcp and nothing has worked. If
someone has had the same experience with PPP and DHCP on DSL can you please
send me resources on how to go about setting up an internet connection.
WinPoet has virtually no documentation on implementation details.
<p>Your help will be greatly appreciated.
<p>Thanks
