You /can/ set up DHCP servers to always assign the same address based on the MAC (ethernet) address of the device. I use a CENTOS installation on an old Dell box to handle the DHCP duties on my home network and have the main machines always get the same IP so that I don't have to manually configure the IPs all the time. Note in configuring "static DHCP" your "static" machines should be defined in a different range than your dynamic IPs. For the "standard" Fedora dhcp daemon, this is a set of extra stanzas in hte config file. - -- Wolfe -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Fedora - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iQCVAwUBR+8ekS1+lL6/CF63AQJnHAP6A6Psj192VjFTMywGx639kuoxvTPpFTrE vriplWBXR41fvloW10CKBKI/9yNEW3JEXTINa9DV0L/X6dR5RIgK6Nq+jv4W8G5Z wxpcQt7hWGzyRT3pw1IpY5yQ0foGmMeJcSYbsLX0e8Z7pixVHT6VbkMM8ALjcrDE A24JR39hX/0= =i+BD -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
