I am K7TUM and I am a member of the Capitol Peak Repeater Gp. (NOT Capitol Park) Jeremy, on the board, and chief tech, asked me to cfg the VHF APRS digi/iGate that is to be installed on the peak. We are nearing completion of the equipment setup. It is operating from my QTH with the coord.s of the peak. *Question:* We are delighted to use the HAMWAN Internet access already, for such things a s remote management, Echolink, and IP phone for Auto patch. However, Jeremy is not a network/IP tech, so he needs some help. He has never known how to ask for a static IP address, or a DHCP reservation for any of the equipment up there. BUT I CAN. We would like to put up this APRS iGate, but we need to be able to telnet to it AND view the web interface for management. How would we go about securing a stable address for that device? Can you give me one, or do you prefer I give you the MAC address, or maybe there is NAT at play and we need to "play" with it s'more. What do you prefer? Thanks y'all. -- ****************************************** Mark Weisenfeld K7TUM CN87na <http://www.levinecentral.com/ham/grid_square.php?Grid=CN87na> (SW corner) **************************
