Well, you'll have to plug only one computer into the switch, and configure it for dhcp, and then plug the cable modem in ... This should work, as the switch will simply act as a network fabric at that point. Obviously plugging in multiple computers will not work so well, because then the cable modem might start switching to another machine, or bad things might happen, but you can simply then run a DHCP server on the machine that is getting the address from the cable modem, and go to town distributing addresses internally. Actually, another approach is to simply get another nic card for your computer, and do it at that level.

Subject: Re: fc installation? I'm sure they must've thought of a way to assign an IP address. For those of us who made the mistake of getting a switch instead of a router, there is no way to get the DHCP address the cable, DSL, or other connection provides unless you can from a web page in the modem. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Littlefield, Tyler" <compgeek13@xxxxxxxxx> To: "Speakup is a screen review system for Linux." <speakup at braille.uwo.ca> Sent: Thursday, May 31, 2007 9:00 AM Subject: fc installation? > Heya list, > I've got a quick question; > I've got an fc6 install disk here. > Do I need all I think it was... 6? > Also, I seen in the docs where I could type linux text telnet. > Can I specify an IP address to? or does it just assign a random IP from > the dhcp server. > Thanks, > Thanks, > ~~TheCreator~~ > [My programs don't have bugs; just randomly added features] > msn: > compgeek13 at gmail.com > aim: st8amnd2005 > skype: st8amnd127 > vertigo head coder > web: tysdomain.com > _______________________________________________ > Speakup mailing list > Speakup at braille.uwo.ca > http://speech.braille.uwo.ca/mailman/listinfo/speakup > _______________________________________________ Speakup mailing list Speakup at braille.uwo.ca http://speech.braille.uwo.ca/mailman/listinfo/speakup
