Hi,

I'm running a dual boot (win98/FreeBSD) connected to the internet via
an RCN dualmode cable modem.  RCN recently renumbered their network, 
and based on the output of winipcfg my machine has an address of
216.164.26.XXX and a gateway of 10.17.44.XXX (believe me that is what
winipcfg provides and I can connect via windows with no ISP special
software).  

To try and get around this problem, I downloaded, applied the dhcp-2.0 port,
compiled and install the latest copy of dhcp-20, so I have the defaults
installed and and empty dlcient.conf.  When I run dlclient it appears to run,
but then fails:

My dhclient.conf is empty, and I don't find any select's in the script.
And pointers on where to start looking for the select: Invalid argument
cause ??

Thanks
