DHCP Hack for AT&T Broadband?
I need to run a server at home. I manually configured my network using the info that I got via DHCP. I want to know if there is anything I can do that will enable my server to request the same IP. It refreshes every 4th day and I can't get the same IP back. Anyone?
What do you mean by "refreshes"?
Do you always get a new address every 4 days?
Is the LEASETIME / RENEWALTIME 4 days as well?
If so, are the different addresses in the same subnet?
/b
btw, are you running "dhcpcd" or "dhclient"?
/b
/b
If you get a different IP each time then there is not much you can do, however you can dry dynamic DNS where you get a hostname on some domain and everytine your IP address changes your machine will register the new ip with that domains DNS server

using dhcp...
you can though use a service that can assign a domain
name to a dynamic ip like you have....
that way you can still run a server
