I'm sorry, but this is already over my head. I have been using fixed IP addresses and maintaining a /etc/hosts file on every machine. So now I decided to get with the real world. I installed /usr/ports/net/isc-dhcp3, and dhcp itself appears to be working - clients connect and evidently have IP addresses. But how do I handle the DNS side of things? I am a complete newbie to DNS - I just want to handle my simple local home network. So in sum: I now have a /etc/hosts file on every machine. This obviously won't work with DHCP. So how do I move to a more DNS-style solution? Thank you. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
