Hi everyone, At my school, the IP addresses are determined by a bootp server. I am moving to campus and would like to know how freebsd may be able to get the IP address for my freebsd machine from the bootp server. So to repeat, I am running 2.1.0R and have it installed on my hard disk. I am planning on buying an ethernet card and would like to use the ethernet on campus. However, I think I need to use bootp to get dynamically assigned IP addresses at boot time. Once the address is assigned then my machine has that IP address till it is turned off. Any takers on this ? Thanks Bora
