Greetings all,
 
So here is the mess I am in, we have a = network in=20 our house, a DSL modem connected to a windows98SE box that is in turn = connected=20 to a hub, and acts as both a gateway and a DHCP server for all of the = coumputers=20 in the house. so I looked though all the how to's I can find and the = only=20 mention of DHCP is a slightly cryptic document (at least to a new person = like=20 myself) about useing a freebsd box as a dhcp server, nothing I can find = about=20 how to get my freeBSD box to get it's ip from the server. Any help would = be much=20 apreciated, Even directions to a how to that I might have missed, I = fully=20 understand RTFM, I just need to know where the "M" is = :) 
As an additive for anyone who might be = kind enough=20 to offer assistnce, I was wondering (and I know this will show just how = new I am=20 to this) when I am doing the network config, I give it a hostname of my = computer=20 name (seraphim) but we are not useing a domain within the house so = it=20 is I assume fine to just omit the domain name (or am I way off = base=20 there as well..)
 
many thanks agin for any help that can = be=20 offered
 
Cheers
