So for joe you would say host joe { option dhcp-client-identifier "Joe's computer"; fixed-address 10.0.0.2; } to assign him 10.0.0.2 On Thu, 24 Feb 2000, Andrey Novikov wrote: > > Yes - but you run the risk of collision if hostnames are created by users > > (ie in win95 if its a freeforall you might have 2 people decide BigGuy is > > a good machine name) > My users are well educated - the wouldn't.
