Depending on the DHCP server at the other end, you may be able to use the ISC DHCP client (with an appropriately modified "/etc/dhclient-script"), and simply put: send dhcp-client-identifier 00:ff:de:ad:be:ef; in the "/etc/dhclient.conf" file, where 00:ff:de:ad:be:ef is whatever MAC address you want the DHCP server to use in assigning you your lease. A DHCP server is *supposed* to use this parameter to identify the client and only fall back to the MAC address (as supplied in the DHCP packet's "chaddr" field) if no client identifier is provided by the client. -- Kevin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
