While not the best fit for everyone, recently I've been using avahi/mdns/zeroconf/bonjour for name resolution for all computers in my home network. Windows, Mac OS X, Linux all happily figuring out hostnames by themselves. That combined with DHCP and some upnp on the router (again, not for everyone, but good for me), I hardly have to spend anytime setting up networking stuff at home anymore (and I'm somebody who used to have a server acting as gateway/proxy/firewall/dns/caching dns/smtp gateway). - -- dave. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFFdjHbhPPdWeHRgaoRArbFAJ41NpCvg561+HCW0oKx394/ioDMswCbBqfL 3X5jhSmD7JyhvP/xW322Mrk= =BDst -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
