Arrow troubles changing between dhcp and static IP
hey everyone,im new to openbsd3.6.

here is my situation:

when i am at work i need to use a static IP, which i successfully configured today. at home though i need dhcp. i tried changing back my hostname.sis0 file to dhcp NONE NONE NONE and rebooted the system, and now when it starts up it says "starting network", but doesn't go thru the dhcp phase. can't get on the internet and confused what i am doing wrong. please advise. thanks a ton,--avery

ps is there any tool with a graphical user interface, or command-line program that can make it easier to set up network settings?

Think you have the config wrong. See http://www.openbsd.com/faq/faq6.html#DHCP for how to configure it correctly.

>> is there any tool with a graphical user interface, or command-line program that can make it easier to set up network settings?
man ifconfig.

Frankly, if you're just starting with *BSD, FreeBSD might be easier for you.
