Depends on whether or not they are running a DHCP server. If they are, then you don't have to change anything. If they aren't, then you need to find the line in /etc/rc.conf that looks like ifconfig_cc0="DHCP" and make it say ifconfig_cc0="xxx.yyy.zzz.www" where cc is whatever is appropryate for your nic, and the xxx.yyy.zzz.www is your new static ip address. <mike -- Mike Meyer <mwm@mired.org> http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.
