I disable DHCP to give servers static IP so I always know where they are. My home router doesn't allow me to define IP addresses to MAC addresses, so static IP is the only way I can do it.
However on 111b, if I use the GUI to assign a static IP, then even though the network configuration screen knows the DNS servers, domain name resolution stops working. If I switch the interface back to DHCP, then DNS starts working. Odd. I have noticed that if I try and select the default gateway in the network configuration, it doesn't seem to stick. I'm waiting for 132 to come out as a fresh install, not development version, and I'm hoping that this issue is solved. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org
