Jeff, the target ip addresses are subject to change, so can't
hardwire the names/addresses in the hosts file.<br>

transfer files via ftp, for example, currently I have to go
to the target computer, log in, run ifconfig or ipconfig and
get it's current dhcp ip address, write it down so i don't
forget, go back to the host computer, then ftp to that ip
address. I cannot get the Linksys/Cisco WRT320N router to
use the computer name, versus the ip address, even though it
keeps the dhcp client list internally to itself. This has
gotten to be just too aggravating.<br>
<br>
So, is there a way I can get this router to do one of it's
most basic jobs?<br>
<br>
Alternatively, is there a way to have each and every
Winblows and Linux computer on my little home-net keep it's
own internal table of computer name vs ip addresses so I
don't have the hassle every time I want to move files from
one to another?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
