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.
