Is it possible to get my DABS Conexant AMX-CA61E ADSL router to pick
up a LAN address from *my* DHCP server, so that rather than being on
the static IP 192.168.0.1, it actually picks it up by dhcp?

Thanks.

I can't see why you would want to, but maybe the "DHCP Relay" and
"DHCP Target IP" in the Misc. Config. menu may help - I am not sure
what they do though!

They're ultra vague aren't they!! Just so i can keep things under
central control from my server. It would still effectively have a
reserved static IP, but it would stop my server ever giving out the
router's IP etc....

In my experience you can configure a DHCP server to allocate from a
specific range of IPs so why not configure your server to put out
192.168.0.2-192.168.0.99 say!

Surely it's better to have the CA61 act as a DHCP server, since it can then pass the (PPP-derived) DNS IPs to your LAN server.

You could configure your server's DHCP server not to hand out the router's IP.

I use it the CA64 as DHCP server, and the client PC's just use the
CA64's LAN IP as the DNS server.
