Wacky DHCP values that work in windows but not in FreeBSD

Howdy,

I usually have a wireless router connected directly to the AT&T/Yahoo
DSL modem but last night I wanted to do some debugging so I plugged my
laptop directly into the modem (after powering off the modem, etc.).

The values I got back from DHCP not only don't make sense, they didn't
work in FreeBSD at all. Dual-booting to Windows showed that the values
I saw from DHCP were "correct," and somehow they managed to work.
Taking a closer look at the router after I plugged it back in showed
the same.

Dhcp Enabled. . . . . . . . . . . : Yes
Autoconfiguration Enabled . . . . : Yes
IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : 76.212.147.xxx
Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.0.0
Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 151.164.184.xxx
DHCP Server . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.xxx
DNS Servers . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.xxx

Can anyone tell me how they managed to get this to work in Windows,
and suggest where to look to get it working in FreeBSD?


Doug
