To set up your dhcp server, something like...
host workstation {
hardware ethernet ma:ca:dd:re:ss;
fixed-address 203.97.9.110;
option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
option routers 203.97.9.105;
option domain-name-servers 203.97.33.14, 203.97.37.14;
}
( personally set up the ip address in dns, and then use the fixed
address as the name - eg workstation.greengecko.co.nz - instead of hard
coding the ip address ).
You can get your mac address on your workstation using /sbin/ifconfig
eth0 - or whichever.
On your workstation, for belt and braces ( so you don't really need the
mac address to identify - but I prefer to use it )...
send host-name workstation
and to ensure configuration when no dhcp server present...
lease {
interface "eth0";
fixed-address 203.97.9.110;
option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
option routers 203.97.9.105;
option domain-name-servers 203.97.33.14, 203.97.37.14;
renew 0 2030/12/31 23:59:59;
rebind 0 2030/12/31 23:59:59;
expire 0 2030/12/31 23:59:59;
}
