OpenBSD ifconfig

Hey ashcrow, today my ISP had a problem and the dc0 interface (public) on my OpenBSD firewall timed out. How do I bring it back up?

When it timed out did it respond with an all 0 number?

Check /etc/dhclient.conf and make sure cable host is there.

Also make sure your not blocking them with pf :P

$ cat dhclient.conf |grep cable
$

What do you suggest?

But I meant, do I need to kill dhclient and start it again and that's it? *Or are there other things to do?


Edit: Weird... I intentionally killed dhclient and started it again and it worked. Are dhcp timeouts different?

I don't think they are diffrent (unless it was dhcpd timeout ...). dhclient just needed a boost I guess. Happens everyonce in a while. I *THINK* it needs restarting wheen a new IP from a diffrent source happens but I am not sure.
