I've been using dnsmasq ages and I love it. However, I've always had 1 problem which I really want to fix now. The problem is that I have a DHCP client PC which I want to be allocated the same IP address whenever it logs on based on its MAC address. So I have this in /etc/dnsmasq.conf:
### PME - Always allocate XXX a fixed IP dhcp-host=00:0E:61:2E:0B:90,192.168.0.20 But whenever this machine connects it gets allocated a different IP address (it actually gets 192.168.0.185) . I don't understand why this is because I thought this was the syntax. Can anyone advise what the trick is to get this working? Also, when I do make a change, do I have to do something (as well as restarting dnsmasq) to "flush" the current settings. Delete the /var/lib/misc/dnsmasq.leases file, for example? Regards, Phill
