ok.. i installed BSD on a computer. and i set the nic card with a static IP, now i have no clue how to get into the setup utility to change the Configuation to DHCP so that the linksys router can assign me and IP and i can have internet.. PLEASE HELP MEEEE

I don't know much about DHCP and where to configure it.
Just an idea: maybe with /stand/sysinstall?
An other idea is to google search the web for some sample config files for DHCP, and manually prepare/edit those files (I always find this simpler than learning which utility does what and how)

Please post your answer

something like
DHCP=yes
in /etc/rc.conf
or use
/stand/sysinstall
...
The answer will then be searchable for others...
