My win boxes are using freebsd as a gateway to the internet

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.
