In my rc.conf I have added...

defaultrouter=192.168.1.1
ipconfig_interface="DHCP"
dhclient=YES
dh_flags=""


When dhclient runs it attempts to talk to the router (192.168.1.1) on
the subnet 255.255.255.255.

e.g.

DHCP on de0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval ...
....
NO DHCPOFFERS

According to my other Macintosh the subnet is 255.255.255.0

I looked at the dhclient man page but did not could not display the
flag definitions?

I tired adding ifconfig de0 inet 192.168.1.1 netmask 0xffffff00 to my
rc.conf but that did not help.

Is there a dh_flag to change the subnet mask?
Should I add something to /etc/resolv.conf?


Thanks.
