While the base FreeBSD system includes the dhcp client (dhclient), it does not include a server. For that you need to install it from /usr/ports/net/isc-dhcp3/. Read the man pages for dhcpd, dhcpd.conf, and dhcp-options as well as the example configuration files included in the port. In most cases, it's pretty trivial to set up. Unless you need to do something special, the configuration will be only a few lines long. R. Kevin Oberman, Network Engineer Energy Sciences Network (ESnet) Ernest O.
