I've got a DHCP server for my LAN usage, and have one host (my laptop) that has two possible connections to the network. One via wired ethernet, another via wireless.
Situation: I can easily configure DHCP to assign a specific IP address based on a host name, which looks at the MAC address I set up for it to look for.
Problem: I can only do so once for each host name. With my situation, I have the same host name, with two separate MAC addresses.
I managed to set it up to work, by using a "fake" different hostname, that's not assigned to my laptop, however, the MAC address DOES match the MAC address of the wireless card, and it does connect. (I also "deny unknown-clients;" in a mild attempt to only allow machines known/owned by me to be given an IP when asked for one.
Any suggestions on how to get the same/true hostname to use separate IP addresses, one for each MAC address of each card?
