Aloha,

Sounds like an interesting setup. Do you have one machine acting as a gateway?

        Hi Daniel,

        The easiest way is to check the LAN Config (or similar) page of
        the router. They usually allow one to specify fixed IP and
        hostname for the DHCP clients based on the MAC addresses.

        Best wishes

        That was easier than I thought. My initial approach already looked
        something like
        this, except that for the ip address I always put the machine's
        name as in:

        machine1# ssh u...@machine2.example.com
        <mailto:u...@machine2.example.com>

        which results in

        ssh: Could not resolve hostname machine2.example.com
        <http://machine2.example.com>: hostname nor servname
        provided, or not known

        I think the problem here lies with the /etc/hosts file where
        machine1 and
        machine2 have
        to be registered respectively. The thing here is that the ip
        isn't static
        which makes
        this approach somewhat difficult to realize.

        Got it.

        Thanks.

                Hello,

                I have two computers, both running FreeBSD, accessing the
                web via DHCP from the router. The setup looks like this:


                                                       Internet
                                                            |
                                                            |
                                                            |
                machine1.example.com <http://machine1.example.com> ---
                Router --- machine.2.example.com
                <http://machine.2.example.com>
- DHCP - - DHCP -


                Both computers can access the internet with no problems.
                So far so good...

                My question is, if I can simultaneously have the
                computers access
                the net as in the given picture and also let them
                communicate with
                each other e.g. via ssh?



            machine1# ssh `ip of machine2`

    Aloha,

    For many years I have 8 Freebsd boxes behind a PF firewall on a
    static labeled lan. Only one public address feeds the lan.  All the
    boxes can work the internet and can ssh.

    I found that easier than dhcp.

Aloha,


I have a gateway separate on an old box running a Freesco floppy disk. I have many old boxes here and they still work.

A couple can run Up to FreeBSD 10. No gui needed as they are for firewall and servers and the like.
