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.
You can even check out the DHCP Server under Network Services in YaST....
That's where i've set up the dhcp server, but it only shows a very few (the most basic) options. -- ----- stephan@s11n.net http://s11n.net "...pleasure is a grace and is not obedient to the commands of the will." -- Alan W. Watts
