Normally, the IP address obatiained through DHCP is associated with the MAC address of the network card in the machine so changing hard drives (and therefore running different operatings systems or copies of OSes) will not result in different IP addresses. I think this is the answer to what you are asking. There are ways to work around this. SOme operating systems and some network cards allow you to change MAC addresses. This may not be the best solution as MAC addresses are intended to be unique. It is possible to assign a static IP to each of the removable disks and not get an address using DHCP.

Is there a way to have multiple computers with multiple IPs (e.g. 192.168.1.101, 192.168.1.102, etc.) where the IPs are stable, i.e. they are the same for each master disk that is brought up, and still have the computers be able to go through DHCP and talk to the Internet? (It's tough just to say that.) -- Tim Cwik tcwik@stnhbr.com spamtrap: tjc123@stnhbr.com Voice: 609-368-2482 Fax: 609-368-3695 ___________________________________________________________________________ Philadelphia Linux Users Group -- http://www.phillylinux.org Announcements - http://lists.phillylinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug-announce General Discussion -- http://lists.phillylinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
