Is there a way I can setup devices such as this without needing to run
DHCP?
Not initially. What you do is to set a workstation to accept DHCP,
connect it to the router, then use the web interface to disable DHCP and
set the fixed IP address you want the router to use.
Or just, within /etc/network/interfaces, give yourself the static
address 192.168.1.2.
Indeed so, in this case. In the general case, it might be quicker to
enable DHCP than to find out what network the router resets to. Usually
192.168.0. or 192.168.1., but not always.
In the days before Internet dongles, the only Net connection available
was usually the one on the other side of an apparently non-functional
router, and the customer had no idea where the book/CD was.
And to be honest, I normally run XP on my laptop, and it's just ticking
or unticking a box. Windows has moved on, no reboot necessary... I can
remember needing the installation CD to change IP addresses on 95/98.
