Hello,
I understand:

> fixed-address 192.168.1.2;

> 192.168.1.2 ws001
> You should now be able to ping ws001 by hostname.
But this is not exactly what I want. Please correct me when I am wrong:
When I only provide a range in dhcp.conf then the next available IP
address gets
assinged to the terminal requesting for an IP Address. The hostname is
what ever
I have put in /etc/hosts.
But how can I now ping/work on a certain machine e.g. grap the srceen
for remote
assistance? How do I know which IP a certian workplace got out of the
possible
range of IP addresses?
I would like to aviod to work with fixed IP Adresses but it seems as if
I need to
go this way --- or is there a way that the client "tells" dhcp its own
hostname? I recall
that I saw something like this???
Thanks a lot
Michael
