Shlomo,
In your configuration, eth0 spans the whole 10.0.0.0/8 range, and eth0:1
has a range inside... this is not something recommanded. I wonder that it
even works. I guess your problem with the static setup was network mask.
All you have to do is staticaly config the machines exactly how they are
with dhcp, and shut down dhcp.

I'm back on-line with excellent speed - so I guess the problem was the old
Alcatel Home.
The one small problem I had was that I always had static IP addresses on my
machines and after 3 or 4 attempts to set up the router without DHCP, I gave
up and went with the default. Adding DHCP on the other Linux machines was
trivial and even in WinXP not difficult.
BUT - I was now left with problematical /etc/host files on all the machines. I
could no longer ping shlomo1 or shoshana, etc, but only by the dynamic IP. I
solved that by adding a second IP address as follows:
ifconfig eth0:0 10.200.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 10.200.1.255
route add -host 10.200.1.1 dev eth0

I can now ping to the various hosts, but I'm still left with 2 problems:
1 - How do I make the second IP survive a re-boot (or is this not the proper
way to solve the problem in the first place?
2 - Even with the dual IP addresses, I can not mount nfs shares. For example,
on shoshana I have the following line in /etc/fstab:
shlomo1.solomon:/data3/share_all /home/shoshana/public nfs defaults 0 0
But when I try to mount /home/shoshana/public, I get "Permission denied"
BTW - I did see that the router allows you to reserve specific IPs according
to MAC addresses. Is this what I should be doing? If so, I could still have
my original IP addresses, but it seems to sort of defeat the whole purpose of
DHCP.
