Always Assign same ip

I have 4 wireless devices that regularly join and leave my home network.

Amahi is currently setup as the DHCP server.

Without using static ip's, is there a way to assign each device the same ip each time it joins the network?

I would like to setup VNC's on each machine without the hassle of setting up static ips on each machine...

Thanks,

Al

You should be able to assign your devices an IP through mac addresses, check this: http://wiki.amahi.org/index.php/Networking_-_Static_IPs

Worked great!

I was unprepared for the need to know each device's MAC address though.... luckily I was able to figure it out!

Thanks
