After getting my unix box up and running on my network, I keep getting the error.

dhclient: send_packet: Address family not supported by protocol family

I used dhclient, and I have a cisco 675 router for dsl serving DHCP. I'm really lost here, so any help is greatly appreciated. The network seems to work fine, but I'd like to solve whatever problem is causing this!

Sounds like a IPv6 vs IPv4 issue. Your dhclient may want to communicate with IPv6 addressing instead of IPv4. IBM Certified Confused - MQSeries
