Hi,
I have three computers at home -- two notebook and one old computer, which I would like to use as a server (all computers run Debian/Linux, BTW). Notebooks have wireless cards and server-to-be is directly linked to Westell Versalink 327W which is then connected to the Verizon Online DSL. Everything works fine (already for somme time) withh one exception.
IP addresses of all computers are DHCP dynamically generated by router's DHCP internal server and I don't know whether (or how) I could persuade Versalink to act as a DNS server as well, so I can find out what IP addresses individual computers (most importantly the server, notebooks' IP addresses are not that important) have in any given moment.
I would love to use server as NFS server and it is silly to rewrite /etc/fstab everytime I need switch on the server (I don't think I want to have it always on -- it is not the most silent computer in the world). In the same time, I would prefer notebooks to have DHCP dynamic IP addresses, because they are often taken out and then connected to other networks (again, less fiddling with configuration, better).
Any ideas how to either persuade Versalink to act as a LAN DNS server, or how to have some (and only some) computers on LAN having Static IP address?
I have searched on
Thanks a lot for any reply,
Mat?j
