| Post subject: | dhcpcd |
Hello, I have a knoppmyth box but I can only access my network by through a command: dhcpcd -I username eth1 How do I go about installing dhcpcd off a CD, or am I just being stupid? TIA pfb |

What version of KnoppMyth? Did you follow the instructions regarding netcardconfig? What kind of network connections are eth0 and eth1? -brendan |

why dhcp? Do many people here use dhcp for Myth servers? In my opinion, any box that is label 'server' that may need to be accessed over the network (remotefront end, webmin, mythweb) should have a well know static IP. netcardconfig |

In my case (note: I didn't open the thread), all my boxes here are configured via dhcp, but I have static assignments (by ethernet card address) set up in my router (w/ the integrated dhcp server). -brendan |

Brendan, just courious, why? Why ask the router to pass out static IDs. |

Got about 12 real ethernet devices here, and 5 or 6 virtual (vmware uses virtual ethernet addresses) ones. It just makes sense to me to keep all of the mappings in one place. Also, that way I don't have to reconfigure the laptops when away from home base too. They're always DHCP enabled, but when at home base, I can always contact them via the known IP address. -brendan |
