Topic: SME DHCP Server

[Jim Danvers]

Gents...

5.6 server cfg'd in gateway & server mode.  Couple of pc's behind it using dhcp to get addresses.  How can I tell what machine has what IP assigned - ie; I want to know who has what lease so that I can know which box to hop on (ssh) after ssh'ing into sme box from remote.

Does that make sense?

Thanks...

Unless you have your SME configured to pass "static" IP thru dhcp you can't tell.

The easiest way is via the service-panel "Hostnames & Addresses". Enter your pc there using ip's from your dhcp-range AND the MAC / Ethernet-address of the pc's nic. dhcp will then always pass the same ip-address to the requesting pc.

hope this helps

That's not entirely true. LANLord adds a panel to show what IPs have been assigned to what PCs. I have no idea whether it works with 5.6 or not.
