Ok, I am pretty fed up with going through the rig-a-ma-role of finding out what my new addresses are for each of my boxes at home everytime my power goes out. I have to find out what the addresses are by logging into each box, doing an ifconfig, and then changing every /etc/hosts file on every machine to match. Everything is DHCP. My question is how do I setup a DNS server that keeps track of all that for me. I need the DNS Server to not only resolve all my lan addresses but also the internet. OR do I set everything on my linksys as STATIC according to the MAC address. Also, if I can do everything static, does it work for the wireless boxes and printservers? Also, what is the step by step for doing this on linksys? Jerry -- Hobbit Name: Pimpernel Loamsdown Registered Linux User: 275424 This email's random fortune: "Hi, I'm Professor Alan Ginsburg...
