Hi all,
I ran into this issue today when I decided to do some maintenance on
my home network. My laptop runs OpenBSD 7.2. I attempted to get a
dhcplease from Spectrum Internet with a direct connection to my em0
ethernet interface. I got no response. I'm having the same problem
with another computer that I wanted to use as my firewall (also
running OpenBSD, same ver).
There is no dhcpleased.conf on my laptop, as I didn't see how any
defaults needed to change. I also haven't had any recent issues
getting a lease on it in other situations (yet).
Cabling is good. A different (non-OpenBSD) firewall normally sits on
this interface, and after I put it back, everything was working as
normal. I'm happy to provide any additional information as
requested.
I tried this several times, cleared and shutdown the iwm0 interface,
cleared the em0 interface, etc, this is output from the last time.
I can replicate that with my ISP if I follow your steps.
With my service, if I change the MAC address of the machine attached to
my cable modem, I have to power cycle the cable modem to get a new
DHCP lease.
Not saying that is your problem, but you never indicated you power
cycled the modem...which I have found critical for the last 20+ years.
Nick.
