Actually, there's no problem with more than one dhcp server, provided there's some means to keep them from handing out the same address to different devices. While many do this automagically, the easiest is to have separate address blocks, within the subnet, for each to hand out. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

I find that setting all your peripherals to static ip addresses simplifies things greatly. If you have more than one computer on your LAN, set them each to separate ips also. Then you can ping things and find out if they're being connected and recognized, etc. --doug -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
