If the PF box was serving DHCP and the PC fetched its address that way, it will likely still be in the lease database, /var/db/dhcpd.leases.
no DHCP Server is running. If this is something which might come up again in the future, you can run arpwatch (in ports), but it's no time machine. this may come up in the future. Very very useful pkg. I installed it. cd /usr/ports/net/arpwatch/ make install clean I added pkg_scripts="arpwatch" to /etc/rc.conf.local file to start up @ boot. anyway, I think it runs default on my bge0 interface. my lan is bge2 I just hit arpwatch -i bge2 ( man arpwatch ) I want to set bge2 to default. I cant find any .conf file. pls guide me. -- cat /etc/motd Thank you Indunil Jayasooriya http://www.theravadanet.net/
