I'm running FreeBSD 10. During install my network card was detected and I chose to use DHCP but nothing was picked up with DHCP, it didn't get an IP address and the namesever fields were left empty.
Booting the system up I see DHCP REQUEST / DISCOVER messages until it eventually gives up or I press CTRL C.
I tried to set the interface up manually
Eventually I discovered that if I took the interface down
I've tried GNU/Linux and Windows out on this PC and didn't have this issue, so I don't think this is a problem with the interface itself or my modem/router's dhcp server.
Can anyone shed any light on how I might fix this issue?

ifconfig re0 inet 192.168.0.6 netmask 255.255.255.0; route add default 192.168.0.1
but to no avail, ping fails and it just seems as though there is no link.Eventually I discovered that if I took the interface down
ifconfig re0 down
and then bring it back up ifconfig re0 up
it quickly gets setup with DHCP.I've tried GNU/Linux and Windows out on this PC and didn't have this issue, so I don't think this is a problem with the interface itself or my modem/router's dhcp server.
