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. -- ----- stephan@s11n.net http://s11n.net "...pleasure is a grace and is not obedient to the commands of the will." -- Alan W.
