Static IP based on MAC Address

[Bumaster108]

Most commercial routers have IP address reservation, I think LinuxMCE should have a way to do this in the admin web site.

it currently does this for any media directors or pluto managed gear that it finds.

Take a look at /etc/dhcp3/dhcpd.conf.  You should see LMCE managed devices in the regular machines group...

Say you have another PC on your internal LAN that you want to configure as DHCP but have a non-changing IP, you can use pluto-admin to add a "File Server" (under Advanced, Configuration, Devices, CORE, create Child Device) then just not add any shares.

Have fun,

Thanks for the replies, I didn't think of using pluto in this way.

Roy you are a legend - this problem has had me searching for an answer for over a week. Now I know how to set static ip addresses for all my PCs, tivo, xbox etc with out having to configure each device. It would be great if this bit of advice could be made more obvious - perhaps in the pluto-admin tool itself.

thank you again I can get back to sleeping at night
