I like having ipfire or pfsense on a separate box doing DHCP server.
you can make other PCs static by making their lease fixed.
and then everything is in one place.
well that's how I understand it anyway.
mick.
I do have a dhcpd configured in dd-wrt. but its set to only respond to
the MAC's of my sons smartfones when they come by and I enable the
radio. That way their phones can use my bandwidth. If I could control
which way those are bridged so the local AMC's see locals at fixed
addresses, while the wifi stuff is bridged only to the internet, that
would be ideal.
