Hi,
I didn't get an answer to my preceding mail : "cups - the printer is not responding", so I try to get this answer with a different subject.
And you waited a whole day? Or weren't the two responses what you wanted?
My router assigns dynamically the IP addresses to the computers in the local network.
So does mine. But like most routers it can reserve specific addresses for specific hosts.
I generally do that AND assign the same addresses as static IP addresses to all my hosts. The DHCP is just for unplanned connections.
That is a problem to use applications that require IP addresses of the other computers in the network (i.e. managing network printers).
Not if you use known, i.e. either dhcp reserved or static ip addresses. You can then run a local DNS server (I use dnsmasq) or if your net is small, distribute the addresses into the local /etc/hosts file on each computer.
How to manage this problem (to use the IP addresses of computers in the network) ?
*In other words,* I would ask if, in linux environment, it is a possibility different to the *setting up the router do assign static IP addresses*, for managing this problem ( for example using DNS...)??
see above.
