I tried: host joplin { hardware ethernet 00:30:ab:20:96:ff; # ma401 wireless card fixed-address 192.168.0.2; } host joplin { hardware ethernet 00:c0:f0:3d:0a:8d; # onboard NIC fixed-address 192.168.0.2; } But this was not valid syntax, having two hosts the same. If I use something like "joplin2" for the second entry would that cause any issues with the hostname for joplin? I am not sure if the host name entry in dhcpd.conf needs to match the actual hostname of the machine or if it's just a dumb label and I can call it foobar if I want. > I assume .88 is the start of your dynamic 'range', hence the 2nd card > getting the .88? (just curious) My range of dynamic addrs goes from 60 to 100 - not sure why 88 was selected. Obviously I'm not very seasoned with dhcp... :) Josh
