Cost was reduced and speed is now excellent. I need a how-to for moving an APSfilter print server on my static IP lan to working with a DHCP network. The Telcom installed a PACE wireless and told me I can add as many computers as I need using a Netgear Gigabit switch. I have installed one desktop on the switch and it has worked fine so far. I never ised DHCP befor so any help would be appreciated. /etc/rc.conf ------------- lpd_enable="YES" FreeBSD 8.* hostname="mano.intra.net" ifconfig-re0="192.168.1.50 netmask 255.255.255.0" -------------- For desktop I used > ifconfig-re0="DHCP" to replace IP address. I seems to find the network fine. Now I cant find any information about putting a print server on the lan.
