Question freebsd / dhcp
I'm trying to make a transition from linux to unix, but one of the major hang ups is my networked internet connection.

(1) Cable Internet (Adelphia)
(2) Modem -> Cat5
(3) Cat5 -> D-Link Router
(4) D-Link Router -> Cat5
(5) Cat5 -> D-Link 10/100 Ethernet/USB Adapter

On boot it says it sees the USB port, and the D-Link 10/100 Ethernet/USB Adapter.

Slackware Linux was capable of recognizing the connection using dhcp, but not Freebsd.

During install I chose to allow DHCP.

When I try to ssh in or out of the box, I receive an error that states a path to the connection can not be found.

Is there anything else that I should do?

NAME

       dhclient.leases - DHCP client lease database

DESCRIPTION

       The  Internet  Software Consortium DHCP client keeps a persistent database of leases that it has acquired that are still valid.	 The data-
       base is a free-form ASCII file containing one valid declaration per lease.   If more than one declaration appears for a	given  lease,  the
       last one in the file is used.   The file is written as a log, so this is not an unusual occurrance.

       The format of the lease declarations is described in dhclient.conf(5).

FILES

       /var/lib/dhcp/dhclient.leases

SEE ALSO

       dhclient(8), dhcp-options(5), dhclient.conf(5), dhcpd(8), dhcpd.conf(5), RFC2132, RFC2131.

AUTHOR

       dhclient(8)  was  written  by  Ted Lemon under a contract with Vixie Labs.   Funding for this project was provided by the Internet Software
       Consortium.  Information about the Internet Software Consortium can be found at http://www.isc.org.
