DHCP help

[Peter Barton]

No, I am sure of it because I used my rl0 to connect to the LAN and download 
all kinds of stuff from the Internet. At that point my FreeBSD was a just 
box behind a Linksys router connected to the Comcast cable modem and it 
worked just fine. Then I added IP filtering, rebuilt the kernel, and changed 
rc.conf along with some other files according to the info I found on the 
Internet. Now neither of my card works. I got it working some time ago for 
awhile though - I ran sysinstall/Config/Networking and asked for DHCP 
search. I actually got the IP address, host name and DNS server IP address 
from Comcast but then something changed and I never saw it again. I am 
really dissapointed by how much time I have spent on it without any decent 
result.
