I'm running both 4.8 and 5.3 on two different boxes in my office. Both have specified in rc.conf their hostname and default router (a win xp box with my dial up connection) and ifconfig_dc0="DHCP" # 5.3 ifconfig_ep0="DHCP" # 4.8 Also the 5.3 box has ipv6_enable="YES" I don't understand what the ipv6 is about although guess it comes from /stand/sysinstall config. Also don't get why 4.8 is using EP0 for the nic while 5.3 uses DC0 for the nic - don't know if this is because of the FBSD version or my hardware on each box. Here's the problem, hope the preceding is a good background to it. Find that the IP address for the 5.3 box gets changed on a fairly regular basis by (I guess) my xp gateway so that I then have to change the gateway hosts file, the 5.3 hosts file and 5.3 rc.conf file. The 4.8 box's IP addr has been stable. Any idea where I start to fix this? Would like the 5.3 box's IP addr to remain stable as well.
