I have been having trouble from the very start. Right now I have two NIC cards connected to my FreeBSD box. One is connected directly to my cable modem, and the other is connected to my other computer which is running Windows XP. OK, I start the FreeBSD installtion and select FTP as my media type. I know which device is connected to the internet and I select that one to be configured. It asks me if I want to scan for DHCP servers and I say yes. It scans for about 2 minutes but does not come up with anything. I fill in the information it asks, but that doesnt work either. I was whondering if I could set which DHCP server the installation could retrieve the information from. I looked in options but changing the DHCP server was not there. Please help.
