Some have the ability to tie an IP address to a specific device MAC address. I do this to force my home server and phones to have specific IPs.

[ubuntu-uk] Local IP Address Allocation
Hi Just a minor question about local networking I routinely have a number of different devices connected to my home network such as Ubuntu laptops, iPad, Android phone, Kindle, RPi and so on. The router allocates local IP addresses to them as and when they connect. Although those IP addresses are always within a very narrow range (192.168.1.1 -> 12) they are not fixed. Is it normally possible to set a general purpose router to recognise a given device and always allocate the same local IP address to it? Thanks Nige -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
