The server was Fedora, now CentOS, but the same DHCP server on both (albeit different versions). Neither would allow it, there'd be some complaint logged. I haven't had a bash at this for ages, since the laptop is ancient and seldom used any more. I'll have another look at it the next time I dig it out. Mine was set up with having to use separate IPs, and different hostnames. Which makes sense if both are operating simultaneously, but not if in and either/or mode. Personally, I'd rather that the *laptop* always had the same hostname. It makes SSHing into easier, for one thing. -- uname -rsvp Linux 3.10.0-1127.8.2.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue May 12 16:57:42 UTC 2020 x86_64 Boilerplate: All unexpected mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
