The one client is connected directly to the same network as the BSD box, the other client is connected via a bridge on the first client. I have a section in my /usr/local/etc/dhcpd.conf to assign a specific IP to client #1: host myhost { hardware ethernet xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx; fixed address 192.168.1.16; } The problem is, both client #1 and #2 get assigned the same IP address which results in a conflict (I'm guessing because they appear to be behind the same MAC address). How do I work around this so that I can uniquely setup a predetermined IP for both clients? I'll appreciate any help, thanks!
