This is the error that I am getting.
"Can't bind to dhcp address: Address already in use"
My /etc/dhcp.conf file is empty.

How can I ask the dhcp server for another address?
It doesn't apprear the the ip address in dhclient.leases
is in use. I am not sure what the problem is.

Thanks,

Brian

It usually means you have a configuration problem with the dhcp.conf file
in /etc

Look through the log again, and it should tell you (reasonably) what the
problem is.

or

Post your dhcp.conf file...
