How would I go about doing this Definitely! I'm doing it now -- I've got a static name and dynamic (or so they say) IP. You'll probably need to use a dhcp client of some sort. I'm currently using the wide-dhcp package, although I'm likely to switchover to ISC's dhcp-2.0 package when the actual 2.0 release comes out. In any case, both of these dhcp clients are available as ports and packages under FreeBSD. -- Nate Patwardhan, System Administrator O'Reilly and Associates nvp@oreilly.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
