DHCP not connecting

[Peter Barton]

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
