Here's my current setup, all my systems are connected to a small home office router which is in turn connected to a cable modem. With my Windows machines I just plug a cat5 into an empty slot and it's automatically assigned an IP. Some are setup as static based on MAC and some not; regardless whenever it's plugged in it will autodetect. During the FreeBSD installation it does not seem to pull any information down when I choose DHCP, I foolishly did not enter in the required fields, & just went on to setup XWindows. Where do I modify my network settings? What command would I use? Can anyone point me in the right direction for getting my internet setup?
