Between them, they have four NICs; two wireless, and two wired. I know how to configure DHCP so that a given IP address and hostname is assigned based upon the mac address. Here's the example: host joe { hardware ethernet 08:00:2b:4c:29:32; fixed-address joe.fugue.com; } What I'd like to do is allow the above box to use any of four NICs, yet always get the same fixed address. Perhaps I should just assign one wireless NIC and one wired NIC to each box and assume they are always with that box. -- Dan Langille : http://www.langille.org/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
