This was why I wanted to assign a fixed address to my desktop machine at home--- it has a printer on the parallel port and it serves as printserver for all of the other machines that use the home network (laptops mostly). But this very simple solution works here. I just have in /etc/network/interfaces: iface eth0 inet static address 192.168.1.100 network 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.1.255 gateway 192.168.1.1 and the DHCP server in the Linksys router (a Wireless-B) is happy to always assign the 192.168.1.100 address to the machine in question. Very unsophisticated, but it does the needful (lets me ssh in and so on), Jim -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
