not sure if it's the same problem for you, but Comcast in my area
supplies a bad entry for DNS Suffix/Search order
((hsd1.ca.comcast.net)(hsd2.ca.comcast.net))
And my little netgear router doesn't like that entry and _seems_ to
only supply "hsd1.ca.comcast.net))" via dhcp. My Mac and Winbloze
boxes do fine, but FBSD rejects the dhoffer unless isc's dhclient is
used. I haven't tried plugging directly into the Comcast router, so I
don't know if FBSD will accept the original offer with parens...
Thanks,
Will
