There are *two* dhcp servers on the 2.2.6 CD-ROM, if you have one of those; they're also available via the internet. Either can be installed with the 'pkg_add' command, or via the 'sysinstall' tool you used to install FreeBSD on your system. I've used the ISC server and found it to be quite easy to configure; I even helped port it to an embedded system last year. You shouldn't have too many problems with it. ;^) For more info, consult: http://www.freebsd.org/ports/net.html and search for 'dhcp'. -- "Where am I, and what am I doing in this handbasket?"
