But since having my laptop do the serving via that dhcpd.conf file
appears to be working, why not leave it? what downside?
Max:
none except you won't be able to get a dynamically assigned address
for any other node unless the laptop is up and running.
So the router running dhcp in this case is a better solution since it is
likely to always be on.

I have another question re what is shown in:
[root@r3-mobile ~]# cd /var/lib/dhclient
[root@r3-mobile dhclient]# less dhclient-eth0.leases
lease {
interface "eth0";
fixed-address 192.168.2.112;
option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
option routers 192.168.2.1;
option dhcp-lease-time 86400;
option dhcp-message-type 5;
option domain-name-servers 206.13.20.12,206.13.31.12,68.94.156.1;
option dhcp-server-identifier 192.168.2.1;
option domain-name "pacbell.net";
renew 3 2008/6/4 06:15:30;
rebind 3 2008/6/4 17:18:48;
expire 3 2008/6/4 20:18:48;
}
this lease info seems to identify my linksys router 192.168.2.1 as
the dhcp server
but I am still using the laptop dhcpd.conf to do the serving.
This seems like a contradiction to me. I havent yet made any changes
in my router.
