Do I need to turn of DHCP in the router and configure an IP address for each computer (MAC address)? Or is there a way for me to leave DHCP on and still be able to identify each computer with some kind of DNS setup?

My server OS is OpenSuse 11.1 Linux, and client OS’s are windows XP and OpenSuse 11.1 Linux.
My router is a linksys WRTP 54G.
If so, how do I assign an IP to each MAC address for this specific router? I am having trouble finding the page in the router for setting IP addresses to each MAC address.

I turn off the DHCP Server on my router because I want to specify the IP address for each computer on my network (so that I can use NFS and SSH servers and clients). Three of the computers on the network use windows XP, and the other 4 computers use OpenSuse Linux.

On my router it doesn’t have a place to put the mac addresses of each computer, but instead in the basic setup has the following:

Network Address
Server Settings (DHCP)
Local DHCP Server: Enable Disable DHCP Relay

DHCP Relay Server: . . .

DNS Proxy
DNS Proxy: Enable Disable

Start IP Address: 192.168.15.

Number of Address:

DHCP Address Range: 192.168.15.100 to 192.168.15.149

Client Lease Time: minutes (0 means one day)

DNS 1: . . .

DNS 2: . . .

DNS 3: . . .

WINS: . . .

I just installed fedora core 5 and want to be able to remote administer with a xwindows environment on the same network with a windows xp machine, i have tried putty but cannot handle the text based environment. I love the gui from the fedora console, but this is a remote machine in the office and need to be able to log in remotely graphically.

I have a Centos server setup at home and use dyndns.org through my Linksys wrt-54gl to access my server through tunneling VNC over SSH when I’m away from home. From my server desktop screen I do a command rdesktop (internal IP of computers) to get to my PC, Mac, etc and view their screens. Then I copy files to and from the server using its samba shares internally then I SSH files to and from my server using SSH file transfer wherever I’m at. The problem is my Mac Pro is connected through wlan and after a few hours it drops connection and the only way to wake it is to open safari from the Mac Pro at home. I have set the power saving features to tell it to never go to sleep but only sleep the monitor after 15 min. So my options are: find a utility that keeps the Wlan active, write a script file that keeps it active, run a cable from my wireless router to the Mac Pro (not what I want to do) or find a program to send a Wake On Lan packet to the Mac Pro card (I enabled that feature in settings already. The problem is I don’t know of any utilities and I have never used Wake On Lan. Wake On Lan is probably the best choice if it worked. I could run a Linux only or a windows program under wine to do that. if I knew the port I could forward the Mac port for Wake On Lan out from my router then send it a Wake On Lan packet from a website since I know there are websites like that but I’d rather not expose the max externally and I really would like to wake it internally is possible.
Yea I’m There with you Jeffrey, Im a network systems administrator for a small private college and i have my lan at home with various features just haven’t had much time to research a fix and wanted to get some suggestions. thanks
