What do you mean by "not able to _keep_ a connection"? Are you saying that
your DHCP addy expires and can't be renewed? Or is there something more to
the problem (i.e., the link layer connection fails?)
It won't pick up an ip from my provider. When I boot up, ifconfig in dmesg
shows an ip, but nothing will connect. If I do an 'ifconfig -a' it will
show up 0.0.0.0.
OK, that clears that up.
To clarify:
if you type:
killall dhclient
ifconfig vr0 inet 10.1.1.1 netmaks 255.0.0.0
ifconfig
Does it display the 10.1.1.1 address, or is there still no ip addy on
vr0?
Yes I can configure it for an address...I think it has something to do with
dhclient.
Ok, so it appears as though the NIC and the driver are working ...
${fwcmd} add 0200 allow all from any to any
If this is truely the firewall rules you are using, then every rule after
this one is redundant, as this constitutes an "open" firewall, which is
almost the same as no firewall at all (except for the divert rule).
Yes I am aware of this. I have it in there to try and get a connection. It
normally isn't in there.
Gotcha, so for now we're ruling out the firewall as a problem, good
strategy.

Try adding a line at this point in the file (actually, I don't think it
really matters exactly _where_ you put it in the file)
network_interfaces="vr0 rl0 lo0"
And see if things start acting nicer. This may solve the problem, let
me know either way.
ifconfig_vr0="DHCP"
ifconfig_rl0="inet 192.168.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0"
