Introducing DHCP on FreeBSD

Posted by michael on from the back-to-basics dept.

BSDForums writes "On all but the smallest TCP/IP network, it's handy to configure network information for computers automatically. That's what DHCP does. It's easy to act as a DHCP client, but configuring a server is a little trickier. Dru Lavigne introduces DHCP and explains what you need to know to setup a simple DHCP server."

  1. WTF ? News for nerds ?! by itsme1234 · · Score: 4, Funny

    For about 8 years there was DHCP support in *doze; *BSD and linux had support since I don't remember when. What's next, TCP/IP stack for openbsd ? Support for 486's in linux kernel ? How to use more than 640k ram in MS operating systems ?
