I opted for DHCP. Eventually, after loading all of the ports, my install starts to search for DHCP servers, displays the alert "Scanning for DHCP servers..." and hangs indefinitely. I cannot get past this.
I've used this very same Ethernet cable to connect my Mac OS X laptop, a Wii, and an Xbox, etc. The cable works. The network works. My FreeBSD install just will not find a DHCP server for some reason. I'm not a networking guru, so I'm asking for help. I really need to be able to use my desktop computer and am about to try another OS if I can't get FreeBSD working soon! Please help!
