Two questions: 1) Does the preceding setup prevent anyone with a different mac address from getting 192.168.0.68? 2) Is there a way I can set it up so ONLY specific mac addresses can get a dhcp lease from my server?*** I'd like to keep the man on the street from getting a lease: If I don't know the person and machine ahead of time, I don't want them getting a lease. *** I presume one way is to set aside just enough IP addresses to cover known mac addresses. I was wondering if there's a way that involves less arithmetic. Thanks, SteveT Steve Litt December 2019 featured book: Rapid Learning for the 21st Century http://www.troubleshooters.com/rl21
