Hi Jim,
What are you looking to accomplish? Are you talking about having static
IP address for your Sun boxes? or static IP for your PC so the Sun
boxes can recognize it reliably?
To answer your questions directly: No, we don't run DHCP or DNS on our
Sun boxes. We rely on the corporate IT people to maintain their DNS
servers properly. We then set up our Sun boxes to first look in the
local hosts file, then reference the remote DNS server(s) for
communications out of the 2nd Ethernet port. There are a slew of
configuration that you need to do to achieve this. It's not
difficult, but not trivial either. There was a discussion on this subject
a few months back. You can try searching the archive
(http://forums.invensys.com/suites/dispatch.exe/Foxboro_DCS_Mail_List).
Regards,
Duc M. Do
