Long ago (openSUSE 6.3?) when I had only one machine and an analog modem, I set up /etc/hosts to map my IP address; as time went on I added a router, a network printer, an OS-X machine, etc., but my network was small enough that I could manage the devices with /etc/hosts. Currently I have satellite IP routed through a NetGear WiFi router, in which I have assigned the static addresses in my /etc/hosts file, but I want to migrate to the StarLink system that I recently bought. Unfortunately, the StarLink system's built-in router is a Black Box :-( that only supports devices via DHCP.
I do not understand it. Do you mean that if you statically configure the same address (and other parameters) that would have been received via DHCP it will not work? Have you tried it?
I haven't tried anything yet. I would like to keep the same IP addresses as the NetGear router has configured, but the StarLink router is a black box; no user configuration is possible. Leslie -- Platform: Linux Distribution: openSUSE Leap 15.5 - x86_64
