Hello. I just finished installing OpenBSD 4.3. The dhcp setup during
network configuration was fine, meaning, IP address was properly
assigned. I went ahead with the default values provided. However,
after rebooting post installation, I am getting the following messages
that seems to point to a network problem (and of course, no IP address
is assigned):
<messages>
fxp0: warning: SCB timed out (x 3)
fxp0: config command timeout
DHCPDISCOVER on fxp0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 1
send_packet: Network is down
No DHCPOFFERS received.
No working leases in persistent database - sleeping.
</messages>
Several `intervals` are tried.

For my internet connection, I have a router that acts as a DHCP server
assigning IPs as 192.168.11.x. Why is the OpenBSD box not assigned an
IP by this router? Can anyone please let me know how I can get the
network up and running on the OpenBSD box?
Please let me know in case I have missed out on listing any config files.
Thanks.
Hari
