I have lots (well quite a few) devices on my home network, e.g. family members computers (3), a printer, a DECT phone base station, a RPi, sometimes a BBB, etc. Most modern ADSL routers sadly don't handle the system's names properly (or at all actually). So I run my own DHCP server on the RPi (it' called dnsmasq) and that *does* handle names properly. Since the dnsmasq on the RPi also acts as a local DNS server it can find all my systems by name with no extra effort on my part. Once you have more than one or two systems it's a real pain not having a local naming service. -- Chris Green ยท -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BeagleBoard" group.
