i was able to make it work now but does anyone know
how to do it in yast that comes with suse 10? it was
available before with sles9 under host management. it
could been a lot simpler for those not so experienced
linux users if it can be configured through yast.

Gotcha. What your want is to setup a DHCP reservation.
I don't know how you do it in Yast, but I believe you can doing it by editing dhcpd.conf. Try appending the following to it:
host yourhostname { hardware ethernet 00:50:da:de:3a:e4; fixed-address 192.168.200.10; }
Replace the series of numbers and colons on the hardware Ethernet line the Mac address your trying to create a reservation for. Then replace the ip address with the reserved address.
Restart dhcpd. Typing: rcdhcpd at the cl should do it for you.
Good luck.

what i wanted is for a specific client (based on mac address) to get a specific ip address everytime it request for an ip address from the dhcp server.

is it possible to configure DHCP fixed-lease addresses using yast in suse linux 10. i'm sure that it is possible in sles9.
