Encourage you to upgrade to a better router. Thanks, SHD -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of David Reichard Sent: Thursday, March 08, 2007 01:46 EST To: vnc-list@realvnc.com Subject: Moving client & DHCP My laptop is the VNC server. When the laptop is on my home network, I'd like to be able to access it with a VNC client. My laptop gets its IP address from my home network's DHCP server. I can find out what the address is and use that to connect OK. But that address can change. I wish it were a fixed address or name. I could set the TCP/IP properties on the laptop to a fixed IP but then it wouldn't be able to easily connect to other networks away from home. The laptop has Windows XP Home. Maybe there's a way to set TCP/IP properties per connection. I could use the laptop's network name, but that apparently only works if both the client and server are on the same network. I actually have a number of networks at home, so that wouldn't always work. It would be nice if I could tell the DHCP server to recognize the laptop (by MAC address?) and always assign the same IP. But I don't see how to do that on my BritePort 8124 ASDL DSL modem/router. Any suggestions? - David Reichard [EMAIL PROTECTED] 415-366-7373 _______________________________________________ VNC-List mailing list VNC-List@realvnc.com To remove yourself from the list visit: http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list _______________________________________________ VNC-List mailing list VNC-List@realvnc.com To remove yourself from the list visit: http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list **************************************************************************** This message is intended only for the named recipient(s) above and may contain information that is privileged, confidential and/or exempt from disclosure under applicable law.
