Re: accessing Linksys DHCP Client Table

I use a Linksys WRT54G router for my home LAN. My Fedora server uses a
static IP. However, my XP box hosts the printer and uses DHCP to get its
IP. Every so often the XP address changes and the Fedora box hosts file
has to be updated to access the printer.

Has anyone got a ready solution to access the router's DHCP Client Table
and update a hosts file?

I could write a script, but I thought I'd check to see if there is not
already a solution out there.

Does the router's DNS resolve your XP box's IP address? If so, then you
don't need to update your hosts file. If not, then use wget to download
the status page from the router containing its client table and use grep
and cut (or awk or perl) to get the XP box's address. The exact details
are probably model and firmware dependent.
