I don't try to use dynamic IP addresses. I use static IP address and Waterloo TCP/IP, really their it was the my development environment MS DOS, AMD packet driver and Waterloo ping, they were chosed due to a minimal time to loading :-). I use the following packet driver 24512 Dec 22 1995 pcntpk.com About DHCP/BOOTP, did you use standard dhcp server, or a VMware? I'm just interesting on this, because I never tried to run vmware-dhcpd on a FreeBSD. > > Did you try to use Netboot and get it working?

I only was used AMD packet driver with vmware. -- Vladimir Silyaev To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-emulation" in the body of the message
