I've done it his way, and getting access to a device with no DHCP, or once you turn off DHCP is very difficult, and usually involves stringing a separate cable because it came out of the box looking for dhcp, and without a dhcp server you cant even get at it over your existing network.
I think you made a very simple set-up complex. I had none of that problem. I plugged it in to a PC and started a GUI/browser and there it was, just like in the pretty pictures in the manual that came with it. Those instructions were designed for non technical people. You're hypothesising about something quite different. As I say, I've turned off dhcp and all it takes to get to the GUI is firefox voip:8080 or firefox wifi:8080 since the static addresses are in /etc/hosts How did I get the original address? No 'stringing cables'. Just run, in my case, nmap, because my LAN is using non standard base addresses. "Out of the box" wants a .1 network, I've learnt. I work from the top down not from the bottom up; my WAN is .254. All that being said, the manuals assume you are hanging the wifi router of your DLS line, not off the shared LAN switch as I do, so accommodations have to be made. Perhaps that's how your 'string cables' came into it. -- A: Yes. > Q: Are you sure? >> A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. >>> Q: Why is top posting frowned upon? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
