[-- Attachment #1 --] Hi there, My house's recently equipped with cable modem connection. I was trying to setup a LAN for my computers at home. I am using a freebsd box as gateway and I have it hooked up directly to the cable modem and a second ethernet card connected to a hub. I ran into a problem of unable to scan the DHCP sever during the installation, so for now, I am using a static ip that I obtained from one of the computer that I used to hook up to the cable modem. It works for now, but I know that static ip is BAD when DHCP exists. Please let me know what I can do. Thanks a million. Sincerely, Jacky Cheung [-- Attachment #2 --] <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 3.2//EN"> <HTML> <HEAD> <META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" CONTENT="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> <META NAME="Generator" CONTENT="MS Exchange Server version 5.5.2650.12"> <TITLE>DHCP problem</TITLE> </HEAD> <BODY> <P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Hi there,</FONT> </P> <P> <FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">My house's recently equipped with cable modem connection.
