How about setting up a Name server? BIND or Windoze has recursive ability, which means you point your client to the local name server for resolution and then point your name server to IPCop. The name server will resolve local names and use the IPCop machine as root hint to resolve others. The downside is incoming queries, from outside or the red network. I'm not sure how that would be setup. --OR-- Setup a hosts file with all the names and periodically copy it down to the clients. I am assuming that you are simply trying to get name resolution to work, correct? --Rob > > DHCP works better if I DON'T assign MAC addresses to IPs. > > Charlie O wrote: > > Rick, > > > > I'm pretty sure that what you need to do, is associate specific mac > > addresses with specific ip addresses for ipcop to make the connection. > > > > Since IPCop is doing DHCP ( ie, assigning IP addresses), you can't > > guarantee that each machine will always get the same IP.
