Hi,

I just installed FreeBSD 4.2 on a computer
did configure network, set it to dhcp
set the gateway to the router 10.0.0.1

The linksys router does not show it on the DHCP table and the box cannot get
out.

I cannot continue with install now...

A) what did I do wrong or miss?
b) how can I fix it now without reinstalling?

Thanks
Kevin

Kevin,

First, we need to see the info from ifconfig -a. This will tell you if
the machine has even received an IP from the LinkSys. Of course there
are other such items you may be missing; /etc/resolv.conf among
others. Try ifconfig first and see if you are on the network. Then if
not, try a simple # dhclient <interface> for example dhclient fxp0.
