I have laptops visiting my network. If they''re configured for DHCP then I have no problem. However if they''re got static IPs set then I want my server to set it self up automatically to provide internet access. Eg. Laptop Ip: 192.168.6.234 - just because the owners admin decided to. Laptop default GW: 192.168.6.37 - also very random, but allowable... My servers lan side is eth1, on detecting a packets running around with the ip range above, it will then assign a new ip range to it self so that the laptop will function. Has anyone heard of an OSS system that will do this?
