Eugen,
I almost always set my FreeBSD systems up to use a static IP, even behind a
router. I don't know if you want to access your FreeBSD system from ONLY
the LAN, or if you want some access through your router. I prefer a static
IP on my FreeBSD systems as they are all providing some server functions
(file sharing, DNS, etc.)
Below are typical lines you would have in your /etc/rc.conf:
==============================================================
#set the default router to your router's IP, often 192.168.1.1
defaultrouter="192.168.1.1"
#set your hostname to match the enty in /etc/hosts
hostname="myhostname.mydomainname.com"
#set your IP to one not in any DHCP range
ifconfig_dc0="inet 192.168.1.10 netmask 255.255.255.0"
==============================================================
These are all you need to get it working.
If you want the FreeBSD to have a LAN address but access through the router
you need to set that up in your router.
