[NF] Small LAN configuration for failsafe DNS
I am running Server 2003 on a small LAN of about 10 machines. Internet
access is via cable modem connected through a router to all machines. I
need to have the machines use the DNS server in the 2003 box while that box
is functional. If the 2003 box is d
In win2k3 go to the dhcp server setup and use resevations to reserve to a
mac address.

It would depend on what dhcp server you are using. In my case, I use
dhcpd-3 on Linux, which sets stuff up in a plain-text config file.

It is true. It does seem the router is the weakest link in the system.

In my case the win2k3 server is more reliable than the router. Not that it
helps as a router playing about stops internet access anyway.

Do all routers
I prefer static IP addresses for stationary computer and dynamic IPs for
portable systems. I'm running a Fedora 8 network and find static IP
addresses helpful for:

There's *never* a good reason for static ip's on a workstation, desktop,
or laptop.

I am running Server 2003 on a small LAN of about 10 machines. Internet access
is via cable modem connected through a router to all machines. I need to have
the machines use the DNS server in the 2003 box while that box is functional.
If the 2003 box is down, the router should handle the DNS.
