DHCP not connecting

[JJB]

This is the wrong place to post this question.
You should post it to the questions list.

Also you need to post the full contents of dmesg.boot and rc.conf
file so
people can see what you have to determine what is wrong.

Subject: DHCP not connecting

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
