Peace friends!! If I can use NM, I will. The reference to doing things the old fashioned way was a bit of a jab on my part against the current philosophy of replacing old fashioned configuration skills with "You don't need to know how to do things" utilities. I also used to know how to compile a custom kernel to match my hardware, and how to use XF86config to fine tune my X servers. At one time I also used bias-ply tires. :-P Some detail... I run a DHCP service on a RHEL5 box to assign reserved IP addresses to designated MAC addresses from a public/routable 5-bit CIDR set to laptops when they're connected to local network. This is a recent upgrade from a prior configuration where local/non-routable addresses were used. The only trouble is I've lost access to local printers with JetDirect interfaces set up in the old non-routable address space. I figured that binding their old non-routable address to each laptop's Ethernet port would bridge that gap and enable access to those local network printers. If this can be done with NM, I'd want to make this additional binding default to OFF to prevent any undesired interaction in other networks. So, Michael, can I do this with NM? --Doc -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
