List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: Hello Let me explain my LAN and my setup, I will also post the revelient portions of my dhcpd.conf I have Linux as a gateway eth0 10.0.0.1/24 or 255.255.255.0 I have a Windows XP machine 10.0.0.2/24 Windows 2000 pro 10.0.0.3/24 then I have a notebook and my gf's notebook that grab the address for dhcp, also the other statically assigned machines get their info from the dhcp server and I match by mac address. You asked why not just statically assign those IP addresses? Well once I needed to update the DNS information because the DNS server I was using went down, now rather than go to each machine, I just changed the dhcpd.conf file and reloaded dhcpd. here is my dhcpd.conf file from Debian 3.0. After you define all the other information you add this to the bottom. host xp { hardware ethernet 00:08:A1:13:35:6C; fixed-address 10.0.0.2; } host 2kpro { hardware ethernet 00:04:5A:72:f7:51; fixed-address 10.0.0.3; } ----- Patrick Turnage E-mail: pturnage@tampabay.rr.com AOL Instant Messenger: kg4dqk MSN Messenger: turnagep@hotmail.com Amateur Radio Call Sign: kg4dqk (EXP 2009) Home Page: http://www.access-connect.com Connecting the world to access technology information.
