RE: DHCP - assigning address by MAC

James,

Are you using the iSeries as a DNS server?

I've not ever configured DHCP on the iSeries.  But on a Windows DHCP
server you can have reservations by MAC address.  So that a given MAC
address will always be assigned a given IP address.

Normally, I've used reservations for printers and other non-PC hardware.

You could then configure the PC's in question to use DHCP and secure the
settings from being changed.

HTH,

Charles Wilt
