Macbook DHCP issue.

Hi folks,

A while ago I setup my macbook pro to run TINC to my linux box. It's worked just swell since April. The other day it just stopped working. The connection comes up and everything seems fine but I can't DHCP a correct address. 

I followed the old setup instructions that were located here: http://www.tinc-vpn.org/examples/macbook-install/ They seem to be gone now.

When I try and DCHP an address now all I get is the 169.254.219.* address that is OSX's confusing way of telling you that you didn't get a real address. 

I've poked around at everything I can think of and can't figure it out. Running linux box to linux box works just fine and DHCPs an address just fine. 

I upgraded to the latest version of TINC. I've tried swaping my Mac tinc config to switch, hub, and none with no change. 

I've tried connecting and being connected to the main linux box. 

I've tried going over the TCP dump with no luck.

Has anyone seen this before? Any resolution? 

Thanks for taking the time to read this and for any suggestions. 

-Matt
