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.
My router assigns dynamically the IP addresses to the computers in the local network.
That is a problem to use applications that require IP addresses of the other computers in the network (i.e. managing network printers).
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 possibilitydifferent to the /setting up the router do assign static IP addresses/,for managing this problem ( for example using DNS...)??
Several things to consider....
First, most modern routers allow you to "fix" IP addresses to a given MAC address. So, when a device requests an IP address from the DHCP server it will supply the same IP address for a given MAC address. So, what router are you using?
Second, when it comes to printers many have network setups that allow you to assign a static address.
So, just because your router acts as a DHCP server doesn't mean you can't have static IP addresses in your network.
