If my netbios name wasn't cx443070-a on my windows box, I wouldn't be able to use DHCP (I'd have to put the information in manually). Since FreeBSD doesn't have NETBIOS names built into it, I don't believe you can use DHCP with @Home with FreeBSD. Instead just enter your information manually in /stand/sysinstall. If you need certain information you don't have, here's some help: Your gateway would be your IP address, except the last number (octet) would be 1.
