NM _sort_ _of_ supports static IP addresses. If you set up a static IP address in your system configuration files (ie, on fedora in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ethX) NM will honor that static IP _always_ for that connection. Of course, that means you can't easily switch back and forth between static and DHCP on a connection, of course, but that's life for now. dan > > If you don't want to enable DHCP on your home router (Though I don't > see why not...) and it supports setting a reservation you could create > a pool with no addresses but then create a reservation for your laptop > then it would only distribute one address and that would be only to > your laptop.
