Then i am going to rebuild everything. i was not able to find out the ip address of the dhcp server that my isp uses so i hope this solves the problem. any other suggestions? it seems odd that i would have to make this kind of a change to get dhcp to work.. do i need to add anything to my rc.conf to enable dhcp? rebuild everything ------------------ cd /usr/src && make buildworld cd /usr/src && make buildkernel cd /usr/src && make installkernel < reboot into single user mode > boot -s fsck -p mount -a cd /usr/src && mergemaster -p cd /usr/src && make installworld cd /usr/src && mergemaster reboot Thanks, brian To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
