My DHCP connection with Comcast started behaving strangely
when they changed their DHCP server to address 10.145.0.1.
My NetBSd (1.5A) firewall started running out of buffers
NMBCLUSTERS exhausted (or some shuch message).  Now when
I run "dhclient tlp1" (which used to work just fine) I
get:

  Can't bind to dhcp address:
  Address already in use.

I run tcpdump on that interface.  I see lots of arp requests
for/from other machines on the network but, I never see any
activity generated by the firewall.  It's not going ot the
network to determine the "already in use" address.   I've
move the lease file aside,  Removed it completely. Put it
back.  Tried this witht he interface up and down, as the 
default route and not as the default.  

I'm hoping somebody will be able to point me at what information
I should be looking at to help me figure out what address is
"already in use"??

TIA,
Paul
