I need something like that for my situation. Two questions:
1) Does the preceding setup prevent anyone with a different mac address
from getting 192.168.0.68?
2) Is there a way I can set it up so ONLY specific mac addresses can
get a dhcp lease from my server?*** I'd like to keep the man on the
street from getting a lease: If I don't know the person and machine
ahead of time, I don't want them getting a lease.
*** I presume one way is to set aside just enough IP addresses to cover
known mac addresses. I was wondering if there's a way that involves
less arithmetic.
Thanks,
