[olug] Debian fixed IP address

[Jonathan Warren]

Your other possibility is to configure Linksys to no be a dhpc server and run your own on an internal box.  Here is a sample dhcpd.conf
# dhcpd.conf
#
# Configuration file for ISC dhcpd (see 'man dhcpd.conf')
#
ddns-update-style ad-hoc;
group {
    option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
    option broadcast-address 192.168.1.255;
    option domain-name-servers 68.13.16.30, 68.9.16.30;
    option routers 192.168.1.2;
    option domain-name "localdomain";

    host staichost {
        hardware ethernet 00:d0:09:ec:90:d5;
        fixed-address 192.168.1.10;
    }

    subnet 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
        range 192.168.1.50 192.168.1.90;
    }
}
