I followed the NetBSD DHCP HowTo for clients and I cannot get a connection to the internet. The Windows machine has no problem. I have no interest in testing with Linux. I will post any configuration files requested. I tried connecting directly to the cable modem and still I get "No DHCPOFFERS received". I would really appreciate any help in the matter.

Did you try a tcpdump on the interface while dhclient is running ?
tcpdump -s 1500 -i <iface>

Did you have to do some special setup on windows ? Maybe it needs some
option set to a magic string ...
