I'm using a cable modem myself, with Cox@Home. Here's my /etc/dhclient.conf:
# $FreeBSD: src/etc/dhclient.conf,v 1.2 1999/08/27 23:23:41 peter Exp $
#
# This file is required by the ISC DHCP client.
# See ``man 5 dhclient.conf'' for details.
#
# In most cases an empty file is suffient for most people as the
# defaults are usually fine.
#
interface "fxp0" {
send host-name "cx344940-a";
prepend domain-name-servers 127.0.0.1;
}
"fxp0" is my Intel Etherexpress card, "cx344940-a" is the hostname Cox gave me
when I signed up, and, since I'm running a local nameserver, I want to make
sure it (127.0.0.1) gets listed first in /etc/resolv.conf.
The really critical element, I think, is sending your hostname.
Hope this helps.
