Here is my conundrum... I had a server colocated on a network. This server had a static ip address (63.121.161.98) I moved that server to my house with a dynamic ip address via comcast cable modem. At my house, I have a small lan set up with one box running bsd, another running windows, and a third being the server I just brought home. I'm trying to get the third box on my network at home. In other words, has anyone out there converted a bsd box from a static ip address to using dhcp on startup? If so, can you please reply. I'm stumped on even where to begin. I want to do this because I'd like to back up some info on that server prior to refomatting. Thanks, dan
