A few days ago, my old consumer grade router died, or seemed to die such that I decided to purchase a new consumer grade router. What I remembered about how the old router was set up was insufficient to get me back up and running with the new router and the old LAN configuration. I think my problem has to do with DHCP. I didn't use DHCP in the old set up. Instead I had statically defined IP addresses in /etc/hosts. I can see good reasons for DHCP, but I have never understood how I could get my four Debian hosts to talk to each other under DHCP. I see some things that can be configured to have DHCP assign fixed IPs to certain devices based on their MAC address, but is that what needs to be done? What I'm looking for is the ordinary and accepted way to make an ssh connection from one of my boxes to another one of my boxes where DHCP is happening.
Also I used rsync to keep backups of files on two different boxes, and approx to maintain a local Debian repository. The way I have done this in the past is dependent on local search. Suggestions?
