Hi
I really did all the things int manual and FAQ for DHCP configuration!
1) edit the /etc/hostname.vr0 file
echo dhcp > /etc/hostname.vr0

2) route flush
3) reset the modem
4) sh /etc/netstart vr0
 then it waits for a long time, and gets nothing!

Once it got the IPs from DHCP, but all IP are in 192.168.*.* format!
The actual IP must  be in 62.248.*.* format (I know from my windows machine)
