It will still require manual configuration. NWAM currently only looks at DNS parameters from the dhcp server if it first obtains a lease for an address. This is something we could make more flexible in the future, but we need to get a more stable base to build on (the phase 1 work we're doing) first. > Is updating the llp file manually the recommended way to specify a > static address? Yep, that's the way to do it. -renee _______________________________________________ indiana-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/indiana-discuss
