Static IP not working under mac os X
Mitch Bicquet
It can sevre as a DHCP server if I want.
Under mac OS 9, I was able to select "configure manually" my IP adress and
set it to 192.168.1.2 3 and 4 for each computer and put 192.168.1.1 as a
router, and the mask as 255.255.255.0
Under mac os x, it doesnıt work. It cant find the network, and I need to
select "using DHCP" (then everything works fine, but I cant be sure which
adress each mac gets and thatıs annoying.
Do you know a way to activate static IP or to set up a DHCP client ID to
make sure each mac gets the same adress each time it boots up?
thanks

The absolutely best advice I can give is to ask your question to Mac
people and not Apple// people. Your message only went to one or maybe
two Mac groups. All the rest went to groups dealing with a different
computer. Try newsgroups with "mac" in the name. You are running a Mac
not an Apple (which was the line used to fund the R&D on the Mac).
Later

change!!
Also, my ISP doesnšt have to assign any numbers. My router has NAT and thus
handles all the adress conversion, the only thing my ISP knows is that my
router is oconnected, and behind it I can have 50 computers if I want, it
won't change anything.

None of this changes the fact that this thread doesn't belong in apple2
groups.
