Hi, Ive got a router linking my 3 macs to my DSL modem. It can sevre as a DHCP server if I want. Under mac OS 9, I was able to select "configure manually" my IP adress and set it to 192.168.1.2 3 and 4 for each computer and put 192.168.1.1 as a router, and the mask as 255.255.255.0 Under mac os x, it doesn�t work. It cant find the network, and I need to select "using DHCP" (then everything works fine, but I cant be sure which adress each mac gets and that�s annoying. Do you know a way to activate static IP or to set up a DHCP client ID to make sure each mac gets the same adress each time it boots up? thanks Mitch Bicquet x1728nospam@hotmail.com remove the "nospam" from my email address to write me
The absolutely best advice I can give is to ask your question to Mac people and not Apple// people. Your message only went to one or maybe two Mac groups. All the rest went to groups dealing with a different computer. Try newsgroups with "mac" in the name. You are running a Mac not an Apple (which was the line used to fund the R&D on the Mac).
