Automatically assigning an IP via DHCP: "ping localhost": succesfully pings 127.0.0.1 "ping gow": succesfully pings 10.0.0.3 "ping 10.0.0.3": ditto "ping peon": "Unknown host peon." (DNS is disabled anyway) "ping 10.0.0.1": "Request timed out." Statically configured IP: "ping localhost": succesfully pings 127.0.0.1 "ping gow": succesfully pings 10.0.0.3 "ping peon": "Unknown host peon." (DNS is disabled anyway) "ping 10.0.0.1": "Request timed out." Here's a tcpdump | grep gow with the static IP, watching gow boot up. 09:53:40.859140 arp who-has gow.study tell gow.study 09:53:41.632729 gow.study.netbios-ns > 10.0.0.255.netbios-ns: [2 more of these] 09:53:41.967426 gow.study > 224.0.0.2: icmp: router solicitation 09:53:42.381266 gow.study.netbios-ns > 10.0.0.255.netbios-ns: [five more of these] and after 9:53:43, nothing. Do your winboxen perform this router solicitation? Is it also on this crazy address? > The biggest issue I had, once I had ipmasq installed, was the 'doze > boxes not cooperating with Samba.
