Sergio So, you do NOT have a router? Then keep dhcp. If your ISP has assigned you a static IP, then you should ask them for specifics. Most do not assign static IP though. Sorry I could not help more. I use a router and each PC is assigned a specific IP within the local net. However, the ROUTER gets the Dynamic IP from our ISP. Sorry I could not help more. dhcp is really great! -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Sergio So, you do NOT have a router? Then keep dhcp. If your ISP has assigned you a static IP, then you should ask them for specifics. Most do not assign static IP though. If it's the ISP issuing a static IP then he won't need to (use the -s flag) to ask for it. They'll issue it to him if he uses a standard DHCP request to ask for just any old IP. DHCP servers can be configured to always issue the same IP to a given MAC address and ADSL ISPs in the UK issue static IPs via DHCP according to PPP authentication info. There's surely no need for him to specify it. Stroller. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
