| Quote (vendion @ June 30 2008,12:10) | | Since this is a DHCPtip thread, can someone tell me how to set DSL's DHCP client (said "pump") to keep the same local IP. I'm trying to get a server set up on Damn Small Linux, mostly because this is the only Linux distro that I was able to get to boot correctly, and the system gets a new IP anywhere from a couple of hours to a day. For an example two days ago this machine had the IP of 192.168.2.19, yesterday it had the IP of 192.168.2.20, and today it went through .21-.23 in a matter of hours all with no reboot or shutdown. I know its not just my router's fault, it keeps the lease on IPs for a day and it should recognize the MAC address of this computer and see that it is already given an IP so it should not assign a new one but that is not happening. |
Try "pump --help" for all options, mainly "-l" or "-L".
As a side note, the pump on my system (3.4.11) seems to renew ip every 10 hours, when my router is set for 10 days, 30 seconds long leases. Ip stays the same though (Hostname does get changed at 10 hours if the hostname has changed though).
