Question --

Are you dealing with a DHCP environment in which your Linux box takes an IP number from DHCP, or are you trying to set up your Linux box as a domain controller or other server?  In the former case, you should be able to arrange a "long-term lease" of an IP number for your Linux box so that it always gets the same IP number for DHCP (there are advantages to doing it this way for the IT folks; I've used it for years on both linux, Sun, and Windoze boxes and it works fine); in the latter click on system -> administration ->network ->network settings ->properties (of the NIC) -> Static IP . . . .  It should be clear from there.

cheers,
pete

I want to absolutely lock down a mapping between MAC addresses and device
names on UBUNTU 7.10 installations. can some kind soul point me to how to
do this?
