Hi all, I installed Freebsd4.10 from the university network through dhcp. I had to alter some settings but it worked fine and I can access the internet. I got a hostname from the network and everytime I start Freebsd, it searches for that hostname. However, I will use my laptop now from home where we have a cable broadband connection. With a router/switch I want to access the internet now from my home. But how do I accomplish this? Which files should I edit and what should I put there? I guess my router will be put after the cable modem and I want to give the two pc's I have a fixed IP adress. Can someome help me with this? How do I do that? What about the hostname the machine now got automatically? How do I remove it or alter it to suit my own needs? I don't know which files to edit.
