I set the adapter up.

Here is the output of 'dhclient em0'

DHCPREQUEST on em0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67
DHCPACK from 192.168.3.1
bound to 192.168.3.41 -- renewal in 1800 seconds.

'ifconfig em0' output is

em0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500
         options=219b<RXCSUM,TXCSUM,VLAN_MTU,VLAN_HWTAGGING,VLAN_HWCSUM,TSO4,WOL_MAGIC>
         ether 00:26:b9:9d:30:dc
         inet 0.0.0.0 netmask 0xff000000 broadcast 255.255.255.255
         media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX <full-duplex>)
         status: active

'netstat -r' show there is no default route

Routing tables

Internet:
Destination        Gateway            Flags    Refs      Use  Netif Expire
0.0.0.0            link#1             U           0        0    em0
localhost          link#14            UH          0       28    lo0

But I can set the adapter manually by

$ifconfig em0 inet 192.168.3.41/24

and it works.

The question is why dhclient can't get the ip address even a lease is obtained.

Thanks,
