First, a million thanks to everyone who helped create LRP/LEAF. I use a Dachstein-based router to share cable access throughout my home. I was impressed by Eiger and now Dachstein is even better. The MS executable format that creates the 1680 disk for you made it especially easy as my RH 7.2 box doesn't seem capable of making 1680 diskettes.
As an aside, I squeezed opensshd onto the disk (only barely) and the procedure had significant points of departure from the LEAF sourceforge documentation for SSH and Eiger. Would an updated doc be helpful? I don't know if using openssh is so wise, it's so much bigger... A bit of background: I am moving from the @home to a local cable provider's domain and @home will cease function in a little while. I have a couple machines on my network that need static IP's so I need to set them up manually. I see in the step-by-step Dachstein instructions that I set the DNS to "Primary DNS = 192.168.1.254 ... Secondary DNS = Your ISP's DNS server". But my new provider (InsightBB) claims that DNS must be determined via DHCP. I believe that my connectivity is only possible now because my boxes are pointed at @home's DNS servers which will disappear shortly. My Question: How do I configure DNS on my network machines? I can imagine these options: (1) Will the Dachstein box handle this automagically if I list it as the sole DNS? If so, this is simple. (2) Shall I figure out the insightbb DNS servers and then list them by IP in the hopes that they won't change? How do I get the IP's from DHCP? What happens if my IP lease expires and the DNS servers are different for my new IP (or is this wildly unlikely)? (3) Is there a way to configure Windows and Linux machines to only accept the DNS information via DHCP?
