I'm using FreeBSD fine with the @home cable modems without using dhcp at all. Under win*, run 'winipcfg', and write down your ip address, router, name servers, netmask, and broadcast address. You can then setup FreeBSD using this information, and everything will work fine. My FreeBSD box has been up for almost 2 months with this configuration.
