    hello all,

    My cable provider just changed my ip address and for some reason my
    dhcp client is unable to pick that ip address up or netmask up. I
    tried using ifconfig inet "my ipaddress" netmask "255.255.255.0" but
    no luck. I also tried oneof my windows systems and it seemed to
    pick it up fine. Can anyone help?
