dhcp

[Mustafa Taha Al-Shawaf <alshawaf@uiuc.edu>]

Hi group,

I have a cable modem and router.  At the moment, my debian box uses dhcp and 
asks the router for an ip everytime my machine boots up.  Also, everyday my 
router gives my debian box a new ip.  The thing is I want to use port 
forwarding to my comp so I can ssh in.  I want to have my comp get the same 
ip everytime.  From what I gather, I can do this, but I didn't understand the 
man pages to well.  Also, the mini-howto at tldp.org doesn't cover debian too 
well.  Does anyone know of a good dhcp reference for dhcp.
