ok....I am a real new user of FreeBSD......I am trying to get my machine =
connected onto the internet.  I am using a cable modem service that =
asigns an IP with a dhcp server.  I, therefore, need to run a dhcp =
client.  I found version 2 on FreeBSD.org and I have version 1 installed =
on my computer.


My problem is that I do not know how to enable the dhcp client.  In what =
config file do I enable it???   I can find no mention of dhcp in the =
rc.conf file.  That seems to be where most of the networking decisions =
are at work.  I know that I am recognizing the NIC because I can get out =
on my local network with a static IP....however, I need to be able to =
reach the internet for the things I want to learn.

I realize that working with anyone as new to Unix as myself can be =
difficult, but any help would be appreciated, even if it is to just =
point me towards the correct references.

Thank you.
