The 4.8 box's IP addr has been stable.
Any idea where I start to fix this? Would like the 5.3 box's IP addr to
remain stable as well.
This has nothing to do with the FreeBSD boxes, but rather a configuration issue with your DHCP server. The DHCP server can be configured so that it will always give the same IP for a particular NIC. Talk to your admin about it. --
The other thing you could try would be to set a static IP on your workstations...
