Simon. ___ NetworkManager-list mailing list NetworkManager-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list Thanks everybody! I looked into my router's software capabilities and set it up so that the MAC address on the server is always assigned the same number. Works like a charm. I know this was a little off topic - but do appreciate the pointers. -- Matt Burkhardt, MSTM President Impari Systems, Inc.

I would like to say connect to MyServer and have it find out the IP address in the router. I have DHCP turned on in the router, but I think I need to set up NetworkManager to use a dhclient. Is that what I want to do? Can anyone point me in the right direction? NM should already use DHCP by default. You can either set up each machine to have a static IP address, or sometimes the Linksys can do Static DHCP where it assigns the same IP address each time based on the MAC address of the machine. That's probably in the management interface somewhere; try poking around. Dan -- Matt Burkhardt, MSTM President Impari Systems, Inc.
