I have dhcp-2.0.5 running on freebsd 4.2, I have read the documentation and numerous sample configurations, I am not sure if it is possible to do what I wish, I wish for a machine to automatically grab an ip address reserved for it, but only by providing its name. so for instance in my current configuration I say: host criadillas { hardware ethernet 00:a0:cc:3b:21:3d; fixed-address 10.10.32.236; } I would like to just be able to say "my host is criadillas" instead of having to provide a mac address. Is this possible? thanks for any help. -dan h To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-net" in the body of the message
