I have downloaded isc-dhcp and > have compiled it for my enviroment. We use the wide-dhcp client on a 2.2-ALPHA loaded laptop and it works very well. 2. If isc is the selected one, are there any setup instructions? Dunno. Check the man pages. 3. Will the server software that will run on FreeBSD support the DHCP client software on Win95 and Mac using open transport? I would certainly hope :-) DHCP is a system-wide standard. Assuming those clients work, your server is appropriately configured, and your routing for BOOTP packets is OK, it should work fine.
