Hi Peter, |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
quite an easy answer: YESNO! ;) |

Until I read your mail, my thought of "statis IP" was: |
| 30 |
Server and client set their IPs for themselves statically and |
| 31 |
"know" of the IPs of the counterpart. |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
Your mail gives (at least to me) a totally new aspect: DHCPd |
| 34 |
"dynamically" assigns the same IP to the client all the time. |
| 35 |
Which is an elegant solution around the problem of currently |
| 36 |
don't knowing how to set an IP on my tablet other than via DHCP. |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
Downside: One still needs to configure DHCPd on the server side/site. |
| 39 |
|

Thanks for the new aspect! :) |

Best regards, |
