[Wolves] DHCP

[Dick Turpin]

Hi All

Following on from my reply to Woo's post but on a different topic.

Because I was having problems getting my fixed IP addresses working I thought 
I 'd get around it by setting my Suse box as a DHCP server, having never done 
this before I spent late nights and threats of divorce huddled over the Suse 
manual (and other books) trying to set it up.

To cut a long story short its now up and working along with my fixed IP as 
well, while pawing over different books I read that this will also allow me 
to let my laptop use the dialup connection which would be a bonus.

However at the moment I haven't the foggiest how to do it, I tried the lazy 
way starting my dial up connection (manual) on the Suse machine then trying 
to browse and get mail on my FC4 Laptop but it failed. Of course it failed 
you moron its not that simple!

Theres obviously a bit more to it than just hooking up a network cable and 
logging on to the network, about the only thing I can do at the moment is use 
the NFS share I set up. I've not tried SSH etc, etc.

I have done Ron's suggestion regarding my PGP key we'll see if it works Monday 
or tomorrow if I can get the modem sharing sorted out it looks like it may 
have worked anyway.
