In a small network all PCs (workstations) are running WindowsXP Professional SP1 with static IPs from the 192.168.0.0/255 network. One of them (called "server") have 2nd NIC, connected to the ISP's switch, with static and real IP. With the help of simple ICS of that 2nd connection to the ICP, all workstations in LAN have access to the Internet - simple and effective, isn't it?
Question is: Can workstations have dynamic IP's ( "Obtain an IP address automatically" ), given from "server", but allways the same workstation lease the same IP - so called "static DHCP"? Can that be done witout help of any additional software, like WinGate and etc. Can that be done with simple modifying of server's registry? Something like: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\TCP_IP\DHCP\
with data: MAC1=IP1; MAC2=IP2 and so on...?
Thanks in advance!
