Just because you have a certain IP in Win 95 doesn't mean that your machine will work with the same IP in FreeBSD. I noticed that while Linux, winNT and win95 all get the same IP thru DHCP on a cable modem, as soon as I boot in FreeBSD I have to reset the cable modem and it gets a totaly different IP on a different subnet, otherwise it won't work. I have no idea why this is but this is how I got it working. So therefore u probably won't be able to get DHCP working right off the bat. Just make sure u get the CD and install the wide-DHCP port.
