Welcome, and congratulations.

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:

and search for 'dhcp'.
