Your ICS should still work with static addresses as long as they are in the 255.255.255.0 subnet i.e. they are 192.168.0.x addresses. If you look in the newbie archive I think you'll find a message to this effect from civilme from late last year. Just set up ICS on your Mandrake box, then ignore the DHCP function - think that's all that was required.
BTW though - DHCP is not incompatible with what you evidently want to do. The windoze shares are all accessed by name, not by address. Stay with static addresses by all means if it is more convenient, but it shouldn't really make any diffierence unless you are not using the default subnet for some reason. cheers Brian On Tue, 2002-01-15 at 23:40, Mohammed Arafa 2 Mailing Lists wrote: > hi > > how do i set up ics without dhcp? > basically, each pc on the lan already has an ip with mapped drives to each > other and the machine with the modem has 2 hd.one windows and one linux and > i pull the power from one to the other to boot my preferred OS. > ics is set up on windows but i wanna do that on linux too but without dhcp > > tia > > > _________________________________________________________ > Do You Yahoo!? > Get your free @yahoo.com address at http://mail.yahoo.com > > > ---- > > Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? > Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
