Can't give a complete answer, but yes, dhcp can give the same IP address to a given MAC address each time. (sometimes referred to as a 'sticky' address, as 'static' is often used as "not dhcp"). That's easy to set up; you just tell it like host gobo { hardware ethernet 00:01:03:33:37:37; fixed-address gobo.internal; } where gobo.internal resolves to an IP address, or replace that with an actual IP address. good times, -- Vineet http://www.anti-dmca.org Unauthorized use of this .sig may constitute violation of US law. echo Qba\'g gernq ba zr\! |tr 'a-zA-Z' 'n-za-mN-ZA-M'
