DHCP? - automatic configuration of client machines, but you can specify their IP addresses, what gateway they should use (I'm guessing this is what you want it for) and get them to use a nearby DNS server, etc. As far as the client machines go, at most you need to turn their network configuration to use DHCP; a single checkbox on winders machines, and a lot of sites are using this these days so quite a significant number of laptops may already be configured to use DHCP. -- jan grant, ILRT, University of Bristol. http://www.ilrt.bris.ac.uk/ Tel +44(0)117 9287163 Fax +44 (0)117 9287112 RFC822 jan.grant@bris.ac.uk Donate a signature: http://tribble.ilrt.bris.ac.uk/~cmjg/sig-submit To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
