hi, I'm really ignorant when it comes to network stuff so heres my question. I have a friend who lives on our university campus and her apartment is wired for ethernet. I was interested in piecing together a machine running 2.2.5 and plugging it into her wall. However the school uses DHCP and issues out funky names for each machine connected. I was wondering if it was possible to do something such that I can broadcast another name so my machine would respond to the default name and my customized name. something like this: default: ss-d0015.resnet.ucsc.edu what I like: beta.resnet.ucsc.edu thanks micahel To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe questions" in the body of the message
