Yo!
i'm running a dhcp server on suse 10.1 and use yast to set it up. i'd like to assign static DHCP addresses to my 2 laptops. i know this can be done (read "done it before") via dhcp by storing the MAC addresses in the dhcp config, but i don't see how to do this via yast.
Is it possible with yast or must i manually edit the dhcp config for this?
i know someone's going to ask, "why assign a static IP via dhcp?" so i'll answer in advance: i need to make a port forward from my dhcp/router machine to one of my laptops so my boss can get to that machine. i don't want to always have to update my firewall settings to change the IP of the target machine. i use dhcp because it sets up the routing/dns for the hosted machines, saving me from that administrative tedium.
I don't know if this is what you are looking for but then see if it works for you Go to Gecko-> System->YaST Control centre->Enter root password->select Network Devices-> On the right hand pane select -> Network Card ->Click on next -> Select your card and click on Edit->Make sure you are on the Address tab-> Click the radio button Static Address Setup. You can even change the DNS server name under Host name and server name For the Default Gateway make changes in the Routing -- Puneit Singh 0091-9350832020
