I was trying to setup a LAN for my computers at home. I am using a freebsd box as gateway and I have it hooked up directly to the cable modem and a second ethernet card connected to a hub. I ran into a problem of unable to scan the DHCP sever during the installation, so for now, I am using a static ip that I obtained from one of the computer that I used to hook up to the cable modem. It works for now, but I know that static ip is BAD when DHCP exists. Please let me know what I can do. Thanks a million. Sincerely, Jacky Cheung ------_=_NextPart_001_01BFDC5A.FCF51230 Content-Type: text/html; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 3.2//EN"> <HTML> <HEAD> <META HTTP-EQUIV=3D"Content-Type" CONTENT=3D"text/html; = charset=3Diso-8859-1"> <META NAME=3D"Generator" CONTENT=3D"MS Exchange Server version = 5.5.2650.12"> <TITLE>DHCP problem</TITLE> </HEAD> <BODY> <P><FONT SIZE=3D2 FACE=3D"Arial">Hi there,</FONT> </P> <P> <FONT SIZE=3D2 = FACE=3D"Arial">My house's recently equipped with cable modem = connection.
