I could set up a DNS server on one of my hosts, but don't think this would be worth the trouble, since there will be at most 4 of them. Thanks for your advice, which is well meant though mischievously stated (;-). > > jon > With that few hosts, you may want to have your router assign specific IP address to each MAC address, so that they are always the same, and use the host file as you stated. I have not checked the specifications for your router, but most will let you assign a static IP address in the DHCP setup. The only drawback is that if you change NICs, you have to modify the settings in the router, or change the configuration on the computer so it uses the old MAC address...
