Sorry, you hadn't made it very clear if you were attempting to get a lease =
from a DHCP server running on a FreeBSD machine or not.
I assumed you were, and had assumed your configuration may have been wrong.=
  However, given your response, I assume you're using an "off the shelf" AP=
.

There are several things that come to mind as to why you wouldn't get a DHC=
P lease, like MAC filtering as an example.  You'll have to check the logs o=
f the
DHCP server to see if your requests are even making it to the daemon.  tcpd=
ump will come in handy if you have shell capabilities on your AP.

As for the proxy, you'll need to look at squid.  I've personally never done=
 what you need, but a buddy of mine has using squid.  I can't give you any =
further
details as the configuration/administrator of squid I know nothing about.  =
I do know though that it has the capabilities you seek.
