Just purchased an account on the northern Ohio Time Warner cable

Having problem connecting to their service. Seems their dhcp server

my Freebsd 8.2 box functions because it worked fine under att
service which I just left for Time Warner service. MY xp laptop
works fine with time warner. I can see that during the connection
hand shake they first issue ip addresses 192.168.x.x then end up
with real public routable ip address for dns and my ip address. Just
the dhcp ip is 10.2.0.1. XP seems to handle this connection hand
shake ok.
Does any one have any suggestions on how to get Freebsd 8.2 working
under TW?
Have you got a firewall or something else blocking dhcp from
communicating? What does ifconfig say?
No firewall running and NIC status is "no carrier"
Actually I asked what the output of ifconfig was, but it looks like your
cable is not connected (or wifi- hard to tell without output. It
preempts many questions).
Try `ifconfig <NIC> up`, check the cable, etc. FreeBSD should be
responding just like Winblows here, but your network isn't connected for
whatever reason that will probably be clearer when we know what ifconfig
looks like. Hence dhcp will not work in these circumstances, at least
until you connect your network... :)

Aloha,
Make sure your connection to Road Runner or TW is set for DHCP. And make
sure you can ping your NIC card and like Da Rock says see whats up with
iconfig. If there is a switch on the line make sure it is plugged in. I
have one customer I work for that lost his signal from TW Roadrunner and
they had to come out to replace some link to a failed splitter on the
house connection. Here in Hawaii we have a bad corrosion problem from
the salt air. TW also needs the electric service to work here as well.
Did they come to your location and run a test to their equipment? My
neighbor had a recent cable outage of an existing cable on our block
that was too low and a moving van hit it.
