speedstream 5861 DHCP question!

[acid]

I have 3 pcs on my network, and I want 2 to have fixed IP addresses
for acid and server as follows:

acid = 192.168.254.1
server = 192.168.254.2
andyblizz = does not matter as i wil not need to know its IP address
(its a laptop i dont want to run any sort of server on)

My current setup is as follows:

Client IP State Host Name Expires
192.168.254.1 enabled acid 7/5/2137 2:36:19
192.168.254.2 enabled NAME UNKNOWN expired
192.168.254.3 enabled NAME UNKNOWN expired
192.168.254.4 enabled ANDYBLIZZ 6/5/2001 20:08:10
192.168.254.5 enabled server 6/4/2001 19:24:25

any ideas how I would set this up? what commands would I need to do?

thanks!

Easy, just assign the IP addresses manually on your machines. You
don't need to change anything on the router to do this. Just set your
machines up with the correct IP address and 192.168.254.254 as the
default gateway.

I'm not sure this is possible, i chose to disable the dhcp in the router
and run one of my pc's (linux) as a dhcp server, which seems to work just
fine and gives me all possible control over the leases and reservations.

hurmmm the whole pouint of getting the router was so ppl in my lan
could use the net without having another pc as a router on perm...

err, don't you just enable DHCP on the router, give the addresses you
want to on the clients TCP/IP properties, and leave the laptop to
automatically assign an IP addresss on its TCP/IP properties?

Here's something to think about, not sure if this will affect this though.

If you have a DHCP server, and 2 say fixed IP's, wouldn't this cause
problems possibly? I mean, if it's all on the same IP range 1.2.3.X say,
then as DHCP assigns the IP's this may cause, if it assignes a static-use
one when it's offline, then when the static one comes back it will have
problems to be accessed, or will it be on a different IP range/dissalowed in
the DHCP setup?

Ill give it a try

I don't have the details on how to do this, but you will want to set
the IP addresses you want fixed in the DHCP so that they are assigned
to the MAC addresses of the network cards in those machines.

To have your server handle standard http requests from the router then
you should use:
system addserver 192.168.254.2 tcp 80

I know how to use addserver etc... but Im worried if the server on
192.164.0.5's IP expires i would have to do the addserver and reboot
again. I would also like server to use 192.168.254.2 - but i dont know
how to make it do this...

Do you know what the MAC address is of the network card in your
router?

Why are you making it so complicated ?

Why do you actually need to use DHCP ? It would be much easier just
to set the IP addresses on the three machines manually.

The range of permissible addresses on the LAN is governed by the netmask.
Just make sure all the PCs with fixed IP addresses are within this range,
but allocate a smaller subset of this range, not including the fixed IP
addresses, to the router for its DHCP function.>
