Re: ip address on lan getting hijacked

this is what I did with my home setup. on my wireless router set the start
address to be 1+ of the static ip address poool. let's say your static
ipaddress pool is from 192.168.1.2 to 192.168.1.15 and use 192.168.1.16 as
your DHCP pool start address.

OK the router has a old standard 192.168.1.x ip.

My main work station is set with a
static ip address of 192.168.1.2, (in /etc/network/interfaces) and I
use
other work stations to access this machine via nxclient and nxserver
(running
on 192.168.1.2).


In other words you set the work station with a static ip of
192.168.1.2 and it works. From a router I always use DHCP so the router
just gives me the next ip/
All works well until 9.30 a.m. every morning when 192.168.1.2 is taken
down
and reset to 192.168.1.100, apparently by dhclient accessing the dhcp
server
running on the wap.
Your wireless part of the router is causing the problem.

Any nxclient connections crash as the nxserver ip address
has changed.

Syslog provides the following messages :

May 30 09:30:04 bessie dhclient: DHCPREQUEST of <null address>
Tia.


To fix this put your work station not on static but DHCP and relax.
It will change but who cares?

Hi Karl,
Your suggestion isn't accurate ...
... the OP clearly wants to have static IP adresses,
so your hint is nonsense !!!

You may go as you like and be happy !! ;-)
Myself too I always prefer static IP's in my setups ! ;-D

Cheers, svobi
