Howdy,

Just looking for more information if possible. I am running into some 
problems with my cable modem, it's not picking up an IP from my service 
provider via DHCP. I have tried both empty/non exsiting and configured 
dhcp.conf files, but after running dhclient ex0  I get six attempts, and 
a final message saying that no DHCPOFFERS were received.  Any general 
tips about getting the modem to drop it's current lease, and actively 
look for a new one?

Next, is it absolutely necessary to recompile the kernel on NetBSD 1.5.2 
for setting up ipfilter and ipnat?

Thanks!
Steve.
