Hi, I am running a FreeBSD box (hostname: box1.network.edu.sg) in a Windows network environment. The network assigns IP addresses dynamically. I have set my 

etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 localhost
155.69.10.20 box1.network.edu.sg box1

etc/rc.conf
hostname="box1.network.edu.sg"
ifconfig="DCHP"

Problem
1) IP address keeps changing. I need to keep updating my /etc/hosts file.
2) I cannot ping box1 from another windows machine (box2) and from box2 to box1. Why is that so?

Thanx in advance.
Zhifu (newbie)
