Very Computer

Hi,

Please excuse a question from a complete unix novice.  We have a Win2K
network (the server and all clients are Win2k) and a E250 running
Solaris 8 on which resides various databases etc.  Until recently the
network was set up a certain way using TCP/IP and static addresses for
all boxes.  We recently re-built the network (in the logical sense)
changing the address of our Win2K server, our subnet etc and using
DHCP.  Can anyone advise on how we might keep the existing static
address on our Unix box and connect to it from the Win2K machines?

Thanks in advance

Just configure your DHCP server to not give out that
address, and leave the Solaris system (and the other
servers) with a static IP address.  If you don't configure
them to use DHCP as a client, they won't use it.
