I do both here, with an /etc/resolv.conf set as read only, and pointing at my dd-wrt router, with a dhcp server enabled on the router, basically for the lappy. All other machines here use host files and fixed addressing. No dhcp listed in the ifcfg-portname files at all except the lappy. So check the server settings in the router, and its NAT settings too if the above doesn't tickle a memory. >======================================================================= >If you look like your driver's license photo -- see a doctor.
