Have you considered setting it with the DHCP response? You could do it via his MAC address.
That would do it I guess. I don't really want to go to a lot of pain at my end about this. I was hoping that I could get his machine to behave like an other IP machine. If I can't I'll wait till there are problems and sort them out then.
it's not unreasonable to do something like get an IP via DHCP, use mDNS to see who else is on the network, if there's a collision, release and renew with a different hostname, etc.
didn't know about mdns. interesting Joe -- Joseph Mack NA3T EME(B,D), FM05lw North Carolina jmack (at) wm7d (dot) net - azimuthal equidistant map generator at http://www.wm7d.net/azproj.shtml Homepage http://www.austintek.com/ It's GNU/Linux! -- TriLUG mailing list : http://www.trilug.org/mailman/listinfo/trilug TriLUG Organizational FAQ : http://trilug.org/faq/ TriLUG Member Services FAQ : http://members.trilug.org/services_faq/
