    Hello -

    I am trying to connect my server to a cable modem but my dhclient can't find
    any DHCP servers. I have searched all kinds of discussion groups in order to
    find out what is wrong with it but I don't seem to be able to find the
    problem. My network card seems to be working (active status in ifconfig
    output) and I have specified in /etc/rc.conf that I want this card to use
    DHCP. My understanding is that all the other setup options for a firewall
    (that's what I want to do) come in play later so I should not have to worry
    about NAT and IP filtering etc. at this point. I just want to run
    sysinstall, specify that I want to use DHCP, and see something come back to
    me. So far it always expires.

    Thank you very much,
    Peter
