Update HOST with DHCP

[jawdoc]

Hello<br>
I am running a Home LAN with one Linux box and the rest Windows 98.<br>
I am playing around with the DHCP server letting the Linux box allocate IP #s for the Windows nodes.<br>
The question I have is there a way to update the HOST file on the linux machine or is there a WINS type server with Red Hat Linux 6.0????<br>
If so how do I enable WINS Server on Linux box??<br>

Not sure what you are trying to accomplish, however you can assign specific IP's to your Win9x machines in the DHCP.conf file under /etc/ (/etc/dhcp.conf) You can assign the enter the MAC address and have it assign a &quot;static&quot; like address to each of your machines.<br>

Very easy.<br>
