X-Mailer: Mozilla 3.0b4Gold (Win95; I) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: DHCP Lease on Ethernet Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I'm looking for a DHCP server for FreeBSD that will provide a IPCP lease to a hosts on an Ethernet? Can PPP be config'd to do this? I must admit it's been a few months since I read the docs, but my recollection is that there is no support for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol over Ethernet. We have a client who has 500 hosts that are on and off the net all day. There is no reason to fix IP addresses for each workstation, they should simply get one from the free pool on the server. Any thoughts on this subject? -Alex
