Eh,I missed something.Look at /etc/hosts and $hostname Why is localhost.WORKGROUP localhost in /etc/hosts and mercury.my.domain in $hostname ?

I just finished installing OpenBSD 4.3. The dhcp setup during network configuration was fine, meaning, IP address was properly assigned. I went ahead with the default values provided. However, after rebooting post installation, I am getting the following messages that seems to point to a network problem (and of course, no IP address is assigned): <messages> fxp0: warning: SCB timed out (x 3) fxp0: config command timeout DHCPDISCOVER on fxp0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 1 send_packet: Network is down No DHCPOFFERS received.

Why is the OpenBSD box not assigned an IP by this router? Can anyone please let me know how I can get the network up and running on the OpenBSD box? Please let me know in case I have missed out on listing any config files. Thanks. Hari
