My win boxes are using freebsd as a gateway to the internet through a hub. I have to set the ip address for each machine and setup the gateway address in each winbox.
They do not find the gateway address automatically. I have been doing it this way for years. I am just wondering if it is possible to have the win boxes auto detect the gateway address and agree with freebsd what each win IP address will be automatically as is done with a router-switch.
It is most certainly possible.
See the Handbook chapter on "Network Servers", the subtopic entitled "Automatic Network Configuration. (DHCP)" In my doc build it's Chapter 25.3 --- but I noticed yesterday that my handbook seems to be slightly out of sync, so I'd check the version on the web site first.
