Folks, this is a two-pronged question (hold off on the barbs,
okay? :-))
How do I feed addresses assigned by DHCP to SAMBA so that SAMBA
(on my Linux box) can find my wifes Win98 box?
How do I use addresses generated by DHCP to connect my two Linux
boxes (nfs / ssh?)
I know I can assign static ip's within the range my router will
allow, but I want to "set it and forget it" so as to make future
additions to the stable relatively painless. DHCP seems the way
to go on that. I have Rod Smiths book "Linux: Networking for
Your Office" but, if he covers this material, I am overlooking
it.
Basically I am set up like this:
Machine OS Scope
a.genesis.com Mdk 8.0 Workstation (manage b.genesis / add
content to website / databases; general surfing & email)
b.genesis.com Mdk 8.0 Server (NFS, SMB, SSH, HTTPD, PHP,
Postgresql, Mysql)
c.genesis.com Win98 Workstation (add content to website /
databases; general surfing & email) Using ZoneAlarm and
Norton Internet Security Family Edition (came free with the
modem).
Linksys BEFSR81 Router tied to a cable modem. All computers have
10/100 nics and can, once I puzzle out which computer has what
address, ping each other. I have full CD's for all OS's and can
compile stuff if a gun is pointed directly at my head. :-)
