can't get dhcp client to work - 2.8/powerpc

[Peter Finn <peterfinn@mac.com>]

Greetings everyone,

I recently installed OpenBSD 2.8 on a PowerMac G4. I am new to OpenBSD, but have been working with Darwin/OSX/OSXServer for nearly a year. I have been trying to connect my cable Internet service through my OpenBSD box, but it won't seem to connect to my provider's dhcp server.

All the hardware checks out, and I have edited the /etc/hostname.if files as described in the FAQ. I have not edited the /etc/dhclient.conf file.

Any suggestions would be *greatly* appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
Peter
