[linux-help] dhcp client question

Recently, I've moved from Wichita to Hesston and every night around 6pm my
internet connection dies... all the lights on my cablemodem (BestData)
are the way they should be, but I can't get past my cable modem... I
e-mailed RR's tech support which hasn't been a whole lot of help yet
(however, I am runnning FreeBSD, so I wasn't expecting a lot)... they
think it has something to do w/ my dhcp client (dhclient) and the lenght
of the IP lease... i looked at my /var/db/dhclient.leases and this is the
info it has for my latest lease:
interface "dc0";
fixed-address xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx;
option subnet-mask 255.255.252.0;
option routers 24.166.132.1;
option ien116-name-servers 24.94.195.33,24.94.195.32,24.94.163.33;
option domain-name-servers 24.94.195.33,24.94.195.32,24.94.163.33;
option domain-name "KSCABLE.com";
option broadcast-address 255.255.255.255;
option dhcp-lease-time 86400;
option dhcp-message-type 5;
option dhcp-server-identifier 24.94.195.32;
renew 6 2001/8/4 13:59:12;
rebind 6 2001/8/4 22:59:12;
expire 0 2001/8/5 01:59:12;
anyone out there run FreeBSD with a similar problem? It worked fine in
Slackware and FreeBSD when I was in Wichita, but after moving this keeps
happening... and to bring the connection back up, i unplug the modem for
a few seconds (usually about 10) and plug it back in... and as soon as
it's re-established the connection, I can ping again... starting and
stopping dhclient doesn't seem to produce anything except setting my IP
address to 192.168.0.1 which obviously won't work...
Do I need to change how long it waits before obtaining a new lease or
something else w/ dhclient? my dhclient.conf file is empty now...
Thanks,
