Hi Daniel, The easiest way is to check the LAN Config (or similar) page of the router. They usually allow one to specify fixed IP and hostname for the DHCP clients based on the MAC addresses. Best wishes Eugene -----Original Message----- From: Daniel Nang Sent: Thursday, September 12, 2013 11:16 PM To: Adam Vande More Cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: Network Question That was easier than I thought. My initial approach already looked something like this, except that for the ip address I always put the machine's name as in: machine1# ssh user@machine2.example.com which results in ssh: Could not resolve hostname machine2.example.com: hostname nor servname provided, or not known I think the problem here lies with the /etc/hosts file where machine1 and machine2 have to be registered respectively. The thing here is that the ip isn't static which makes this approach somewhat difficult to realize. Got it. Thanks.
