In bacula user's manual (page 96) I read: "The second change was to add a new Client resource that defines matou-fd and has the correct address, but in real life, you may need a fully qualified machine address or an IP address."

I assume it should read: "... but in real life, you will need ...". Well since IP addresses are generated by dhcp I won't be able to code the IP addresses, so I will have to use the socalled machine address. What is it? Is it a MAC address? Or something else?
To me "fully qualified machine address" means the FQDN eg. myxpbox.example.com

Don't know if there is another (better) solution out there ...
I would recommend either
to use Dynamic dns and specifiy the clients by their fqdn.
or
instruct the dhcp-server to always assign the same ip to the clients based on the mac-address. Most routers are able to do this. If your wlan-router is not able to do so, think about using dhcpd on the fedora-box and disable dhcp on the router.
or
use static ip on both clients.

Kind regards

Helmut
