i been have tremendous trouble getting my network to see hostnames and and other pc's. it will see everything randomly one day and then be missing the next.
my idea to fix this is to have an old laptop (old as in i upgraded 3 months ago, running lenny but hasn't been updated since august) that i'm thinking could be used as the network dhcp instead of my modem (which i'm thinking is half the problem) this server would connect to the internet with the modem and then give each system on the network a dhcp address as well as provide an internel dns. i've looked at guides that use bind 9 but it doesn't make a whole lot of sense for what i'm trying to achieve. at least as far as i'm aware. networking isn't my forte. so is it possible to use a single nic laptop as a dhcp/dns server for an internal home network? if that is possible would moving my apache server to the same laptop cause issues with the dhcp/dns config? cheers -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
