Do you use STATIC ip addresses for your local Servers at all that provide services like WWW, MySQL, PostgresSQL, Address Directory, local DNS, Auth servers, and other local services ?
What I do is to assign an IP address to my Debian machine in /etc/network/interfaces which is outside the dynamic IP range allocated by my ADSL modem/router. I did this after failing to find a way to tell the modem/router to always assign a particular IP address to my linux box (based on its ethernet address). I statically forward ports I wish to serve from my linux box (ssh, http) to that static internal address and use no-ip.org to assign a name to the IP address I get from my ISP. Does anyone know whether it is possible to configure a D-Link 504G (firmware R2.01.B24.AU(030917a/Y1.21.1)) to always assign a specific IP address to a particular ether net card? --P -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
