I have recently connected via a cable modem to a fast connection. The ISP tells me that when I wish to switch the connection between my PCs I need to release the IP address and then get a new one by connecting with another PC (the network cards in all the machines are registered with the ISP). I can do this with pump on my Linux box and ipconfig /release on my Win2k box, but haven't found the command for FreeBSD.
