Hey Debs!
I'm running "Internet Software Consortium DHCP Server V3.0pl1" (on
RedHat, regrettably, but...). I have Debian on my laptop, and it has a
regular ethernet port as well as a PCMCIA wireless card. Sometimes I
want to use the wired connection because it's faster for transferring
files, but of course I want to use the wireless card when I'm roaming
around the house.
In my dhcpd.conf, I have a static IP for my laptop based on its MAC,
but it doesn't like it when I try to specify two MACs (one for the
internal 3Com NIC and one for the wireless NIC). I like to always give
my laptop the same IP because then it works with all of my /etc/hosts
files on my other machines (no name server here!)
This is what the entry looks like now:
host yelena {
hardware ethernet 00:06:5b:d5:39:35;
fixed-address 192.168.0.6;
}
The problem is that dhcpd also doesn't like it when I try to give two
"different" machines the same fixed-address. I can't believe this is
something that SOMEONE hasn't experienced before!
Maybe there's a better DHCP daemon out there?
Any comments appreciated ;-)
