Hi Daniel,
The easiest way is to check the LAN Config (or similar) page of the
router. They usually allow one to specify fixed IP and hostname for the
DHCP clients based on the MAC addresses.
Best wishes
Eugene

That was easier than I thought. My initial approach already looked
something like
this, except that for the ip address I always put the machine's name as in:
machine1# ssh u...@machine2.example.com
which results in
ssh: Could not resolve hostname machine2.example.com: hostname nor servname
provided, or not known
I think the problem here lies with the /etc/hosts file where machine1 and
machine2 have
to be registered respectively. The thing here is that the ip isn't static
which makes
this approach somewhat difficult to realize.
Got it.
Thanks.

Hello,
I have two computers, both running FreeBSD, accessing the
web via DHCP from the router. The setup looks like this:
Internet
|
|
|
machine1.example.com --- Router --- machine.2.example.com
- DHCP - - DHCP -
Both computers can access the internet with no problems.
So far so good...
My question is, if I can simultaneously have the computers access
the net as in the given picture and also let them communicate with
each other e.g. via ssh?
machine1# ssh `ip of machine2`

Aloha,
For many years I have 8 Freebsd boxes behind a PF firewall on a static
labeled lan. Only one public address feeds the lan. All the boxes can
work the internet and can ssh.
I found that easier than dhcp.
