I'm old school and I just want a simple wired connection to my switch, with DHCP from my router beyond that. The PC is capable of wi-fi but I want that disabled.
What's the best way to reconfigure my PC to have the simplest network configuration?
This is a home system? only a few components such as the PC, a printer? All PERMANENTLY connected, that is hard wired to the switch? There really is no reason to use DHCP in something that simple. You're NOT hotelling a laptop that is going to be connected to different sites. You're not dealing with a phone or tablet connecting via wifi, that also might connect, again by wifi, to different sites. The latter specifically don't need, can't have, permanently assigned IP addresses. The hard-wired, PERMANENTLY connected devices can. THAT is the simplest, and also the most robust, network configuration. -- 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
