Thanks Paul! Please let me ask another question; I noticed that the dhcp server logs it's leases to /var/lib/dhcp3/dhcpd.leases file. But it only logs the non fixed-address leases. Could the server write the fixed-address leases to that leases file too (if this make sense), or I have to read these fixed leases from it's log file. Thanks! Daniel -- LeVA
