You can accomplish this by defining the host in dhcpd.conf ala: host insert_node_name_here { hardware ethernet (insert_mac_address_here) fixed-address 10.1.1.1 } -Tobias -----Original Message----- From: redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Vivek Kumar Sent: Monday, June 07, 2004 11:42 AM To: General Red Hat Linux discussion list Subject: dhcp and mac address Hi all, There is a PC which is setup to get its IP through DHCP. But the firewall script allows only few users ( I have talker's list) to get out to internet so this user is unble to browse internet as talker's list doesn't have his IP mentioned. Is it possible to freeze the mac address to get a particular ip at boot time in other words whenever that PC is booted and requested for IP that nic card gets a particular IP. Windows people don't want to setup his PC for static IP as he can use the same dhcp configuration at home for his DSL. the DHCP is running on AS (advance server ) box. Thanks a lot !!
