DHCP help

[Peter Barton]

Hello -

I have been struggling with my DHCP connection for quite some time and even 
though my interent search yielded some information that I used, the whole 
thing still won't work. My problem is that my dhclient never finds any DHCP 
servers on the Comcast network. The default dhclient that came with the 
installation simply times out, the other one that I 'make installed' 
according to the info posted at 
http://networking.ringofsaturn.com.Unix/ipnatdfirewall.php keeps complaining 
about my subnet(s). I would greatly appreciate any help, I have spent a lot 
of time on this without any luck.

Thanks,
Peter
