shouldn't the OP assign/reserve the machine an address in the router config?
I don't know for wifi (because authentication), but on a threaded network, a machine can run the IP it wants without advertising it, at least at start. It can even be on the dhcp reserved part, and the machine can work and go to internet. Of course the router know it as soon as traffic is made on the net. of course if an other machine have the same IP, there are problems. It depends also of the router to store (or not) the IP not covered by it's dhcp. simpler ones don't seems to care. jdd -- http://dodin.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
