Yes, of course you can. You can either set it up with a static address |
| 8 |
in /etc/conf.d/net with something like: |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
config_ath0=( "192.168.1.2" ) |
| 11 |
routes_ath0=( "default via 192.168.1.1" ) |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
substituting whatever is appropriate for your interface and addresses or |
| 14 |
you can configure the router to always give the same IP address to the |
| 15 |
MAC address of your main machine. |
