If I am changing from dhcp to static is there anything that I need to do in order to take advantage of static or to setup static? Always had dhcp up until now. Not sure if I have to do anything to setup static. Thanks

if you are getting your static ip-address from the dhcp server,
it will just work. if not you will need something like this in your
/etc/rc.conf:

ifconfig_fxp0="inet 192.168.1.2 netmask 255.255.255.0"
defaultrouter="192.168.1.1"

or take a look at:
