I believe I have the NFS_BOOT_DHCP option enabled, the problem is that when 
I start dhclient, it talks to my bootp server (192.168.1.2) instead of my 
cable modem DHCP server. so, i put "reject 192.168.1.2" in my dhclient.conf 
file, and thats where I am now...nfs disconnects when the cable modem server 
assigns me an IP address. (but as told, the responses from 192.168.1.2 are 
rejected)

since my system appears to be assigning me 192.168.1.1 automatically, is 
there any sort of file on the server (or client machine) that could be 
assigning me 192.168.1.1? I know its not ifconfig.bm0...

thanks
john
