    When I run cvsup, I get the following message:

    "Cannot get IP address of my own host -- is its hostname correct?"

    Typing the 'hostname' command yields the correct hostname.

    The NIC is identified as 'xl0'.

    rc.conf contains the line:

    ifconfig_xl0="DHCP" <-- Correction

    Typing the 'ifconfig' command yields a correct 192.168.x.y IP address for
    'xl0'.

    What am I missing?...
