The network number is not the individual IP address of your host. Your IP address is 68.65.175.62. The DHCLIENT tries to get the same address it hat last time. The dhcp server might supply the same one if it's still free. 68.65.175.0 is the address of your host's subnet. -Hanspeter To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
