Fedora - client server networking configuration.

 Routers are generally able to act as DHCP servers, and it's probably best
if you set them up that way so that you don't have to deal with it on any
of your servers. (I don't think I've ever seen a router where setting DHCP
up required much more than a few mouse-clicks, saving your changes and
restarting the router.) .



OK that is good to know.

This look as a peer to peer connection between the single computers of the
network and the router.....

So … don't need to do any particular setting in order to assign the role of
server to the router.

 Do you want to set up a dhcp server as a learning exercise? Or do you have
a particular need to run one under Fedora?


 I need to o manage a computer as server, because this computer (the
server) have to manage a ('subversion') repository on my local network.

That means that I don't need ONLY the access to Internet for my local
network....

I need also that the client computers ,of the local net, need to TALK to
the server computer of the local network, *in order to send and recive data
from it*.
