One nice feature that we could use in Yast, is a method to easily configure DHCP reserved addresses. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Dhcp ist really easy to configure for simple networks. You will find a lot of examples for your own perfect dhcp.conf. Some hours on a rainy day and you will have a working configuration an you will have learned a lot about dhcp and networks. In my opion it is not possible to build an easy to use tool for all combinations of possible configurations. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Reserved addresses (that is those that are used only for one specific MAC address) are common on business networks and also have some use on home networks. It is a function that even some of those cheap "firewall/router" boxes support. I already know a fair bit about DHCP and was simply looking for SUSE to do what's readily available elsewhere and which I have already used elsewhere. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Novell had done a really good job with the Netware 6.5 dns\dhsp manager...now Imanager is yuck... don't know what is coming from the new e-directory enabled dns\dhsp server in OES v2. But almost every DNS\DHCP config screen I've seen from anywhere has been lacking! -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
