[PLUG] Troubleshooting DHCP...

2009-12-27 Thread Michael Robinson
I'm trying to replace a 10BaseT DLink hub with a 100 Base TX DSS 5+ switch. DHCP doesn't work anymore. The server is on one end connected via an FA311 netgear card. From there, a 100' Cat5e cable runs to the switch in the attic. Then I go to Cat5 STP cable for an additional 90' outside, underg

[PLUG] FVX538 and IP assignments...

2009-12-27 Thread Michael Robinson
The FVX538 has a DHCP server and it works okay, but the addressing scheme is a random one. Uge! Is there any way to fix the IP addresses and still assign them from the FVX 538? Can the FVX 538 support dynamic DNS updating so I can name the darn addresses regardless of what they happen to be at

Thanks for all the information and advice. Unfortunately, Carlos' comment about dsl modems applies in my situation: an Actiontec modem from Qwest. So attempts to change its dhcp behavior will not bear fruit. My use of resolvconf is a sensible solution to a less-than-perfect state of affairs. Mi

I'm running ltsp 4.2 on CentOS 5.3. I am wondering if it supports the mouse that comes with the Logitech MK700 keyboard/mouse combo? So far, I haven't been able to get it working at all. I've tried modifying lts.conf, but I'm not sure what to put in it. -
