Set up your Suse box to be the DHCP server an disable the service on your Motorola. It is easy to do in Yast and should solve your problems.
That would be nice but not practical. The SuSE box is my sons PC which is dual boot with Windows XP so it can't be relied on for serving DHCP. The only other computer that could be used is the Ultra 20 with Solaris 10. Making it a DHCP server wouldn't be too hard but I can't do that. I am preparing the Ultra 20 to be my home router instead of the Motorola box. Right now the Ultra 20 is on the inside of my home net and is set to get its address by DHCP because eventually it will be getting its address from Comcast by DHCP. For now the configuration I have to use is with the Ultra 20 DHCP and all other PCs fixed address. The other PCs don't have any need to be DHCP and it makes sure that the Ultra 20 will always get the same address. I suppose you might be thinking "why am I trying to do with Solaris what is a piece of cake with SuSE?" For me this is mostly an excercise in learning Solaris. I am in a new group at work that is using a lot of Solaris so I am trying to learn some things on my own. There is actually a small need in one lab to make a Solaris NAT router but no one wants to bother spending the time to figure out how to do it. The sad part is that I have had this Ultra 20 for a year and have gotten it to be a decent Samba server but have never figured out how to make ipfilter do a NAT router/firewall Damon Register -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
