I've seen at least a dozen distinct router models, and many of them really did not have an option to set up a DHCP reservation. It seems to be a residential vs. commercial market delineation. Many (perhaps just several) features fall on one side or the other of this split. For Rich, the other option I can think of would be to use one of the Linux hosts as the DHCP server. Then you can set all the reservations you want. Or as a dirty hack style workaround, you could set EVERY other device in the house to have a static IP, then specify the DHCP range to be 1 IP. I suspect this will cause other problems, but would at least be interesting to try just to see the resulting behavior of the RTV device. -wes _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
