When I went to install everything worked just fine...I
even installed over FTP...I chose my NIC and did
automatic DHCP configuration. It worked like a
charm... however my extacsy was to be shortlived..

when booting there is a long pause when the dhclient
starts....my guess is it is querying the server for
the dhcp info. however once it comes back up it shows
me as having BROADCAST of 255.255.255.255 and nothing
I have done has enabled me to fix it.

What is the last entry in /var/db/dhclient.leases ? If there's something, does that make sense ?

Anything dhclient related in /var/log/messages ?

And how about running dhclient manually in the foreground ?
As root, kill the running dhclient pid first, and then start:

   # dhclient -d rl0

where you should replace "rl0" by your own network card.
Does that tell you something useful?

Rob.
