DHCP Configuration
The third and fourth forms of this command are used to con-
trol the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol ("DHCP") confi-
guring of the interface. DHCP is only available on inter-
faces for which the address family is inet. In this mode,
ifconfig is used to control operation of dhcpagent(1M), the
DHCP client daemon. Once an interface is placed under DHCP
control by using the start operand, ifconfig should not, in
normal operation, be used to modify the address or charac-
teristics of the interface. If the address of an interface

under DHCP is changed, dhcpagent will remove the interface
from its control.

So in your case, you probably want to use ifconfig to do something like:
ifconfig xxx dhcp release
ifconfig xxx dhcp start
where xxx is the name of your network interface as seen in the output from
"ifconfig -a"
