thanks Duane...  but there is something really screwed up with the
dhclient out of the box. i just tried reinstalling just vary basic system
and even at the configuration prompt to set up the fxp0 when i select dhcp
nothing happens...  so i'm going back to 5.4. if i have to spend 2 more
days on something as basic as dhclient..... i mean i have to eat too...

thanks...
