type "man ifconfig" to see what it can do :)

Thank you for that ;

However, I need one more precision :

I've done :

$ ifconfig vr0 inet 192.168.0.11 netmask 255.255.255.0
$ route add default 192.168.0.1

and I add those lines in /etc/rc.conf :

#ifconfig_vr0="DHCP"
ifconfig_vr0="inet 192.168.0.11  netmask 255.255.255.0"
defaultrouter="192.168.0.1"
hostname="www.myserver.com"

I didnot reboot the FreeBSD but it's in case ... 

My wondering is that when I do :

$ ps -aux |grep dhc

I get :

root 69 0.0 0.1  940 328  ??  Is   Thu08PM   0:00.01 /sbin/dhclient vr0

So, can I now safely do a kill 69 ?

I doubt because man dhclient :

(...)The  DHCP
       protocol  also  provides  a mechanism whereby a client can
       learn important details about the network to which  it  is
       attached,  such  as  the location of a default router, the
       location of a name server, and so on.
(...)


Thanks for any information
