Hi
I'm using SME Server as a DHCP server, (amongst other things). Where do I go to in the Server Manager to set it up so that a particular PC gets the same IP address each time it requests an IP addres?
TIA
Peter

in the "hostname and addresses" panel.
please note you can't reserve an ip address lying into dhcp range.

That doesn't work because you can't specify the MAC address

strange.. I see the text box for MAC address in my server-manager..
see here (http://www.mind-at-work.it/images/SME_RESERVATION.png)
note that you will see it only if you specifiy a local address

When you open the Hostnames and Addresses panel, click "Add Hostname". A second panel opens, give a name to the Host and under location select "local". Click "next" and now you are in the panel with the IP and Ethernet address.

Thanks for the help, I went back & revisited it & found I had ticked remote instead of local. Changing it to local allowed me to specify the ACE address & it works.
Thanks again,
Peter
