Yes they use DHCP. I tested this with windows now. Windows obtain an IP
address from DHCP so now I have DNS gateway IP etc. etc. I leased an IP
and got NetBSD running maniually with the leased IP. ...

I guess I'll just have to find out what info Windows sends to DHCP to
obtain an andress (a lot I'm afraid), and put this into
/etc/dhclient.conf.

Maybe I'll find this om some windows newsgroup?

thanks anyway,
