    The providers of nic are assigned a special portion of the Mac address
    list to provide uniqueness. When using the Mac address in win, add
    appropriate zeros to reach a 32-bit character.

When writing the "dhcp.conf" file, I tried to find the mac adddress using hostaddr -e, but it returns only 0:0:0:0..., I did put exactly that in the dhcp.conf file and the inet service seems to start, I can do ping localhost and it works, i can ping 192.168.1.44, and it also works, but when try to ping something like 192.168.1.1, says it is unreachable, my network mask is 255.255.255.0, so 192.168.1.1 is the same network, there is no firewall in the middle either, I think the problem is because of the zeros in the mac. ... some cases not even the setup program works. ...
