X and DHCP configuration question...

I had considered just using the static address. I would expect it to work without problems. Still, it would be nice if the DHCP assigned address would just work automatically... BTW, the LinkSys device is pretty impressive. It has a 4 port 10/100 switched hub. Since I've set it up my Network

I don't know what Linux distro you are using, but in the past I have had a few problems with dhclient. One solution was to hand code the lease in the lease database. On 18 Jul 2000, at 9:59, Alex Hewitt USG wrote: I had considered just using the static address. I would expect it to work

I remember that I had some issues similar to this, but It was different in my case. I run a mail server and webserver on a machine inside the firewall. I port forward port 80 and port 25 to the internal server. I had to add an entry to my /etc/hosts so that my internal machine (192.168.10.10) had

I don't know if this will help you or not but it sounds like you're having a problem similar to what happened to me. The solution for me was to make my hostname be a FQDN in my hosts file. My machine is called syslang and I have no domain. So I added the following to my hosts file: 127.0.0.1

What's an FQDN? The 192.168.1.1 address would be my router's gateway address. I was a bit surprised that they used xxx.xxx.1.1 since I was under the impression that one range of private addresses is the 192.168.0.xxx address range. -Alex Wirth's Law: Software gets slower faster than Hardware
