Hi Peter,
How would you assign addresses to hosts that have wired and wireless interfaces?
I use DHCP on my server - this automatically allocates IP addresses for each NIC (whether it be wireless or wired). Then on some machines where I want a specific IP address (for restricting web access in squid), I write a rule in DHCP to allocate a certain IP address to a certain MAC address.
Then, I have enabled client updates in my DNS server (limited to clients in my subnet), so that the host name and IP address automatically entered into DNS.
Stuart.
BTW at home I normally run with the Wireless interfaces turned off but use them if I take machines "away from home" so I don't have to bother with network cables and hubs etc. However laptops sometimes gets used with wireless interfaces at home.
