This came up in this evening's meeting:

I have a laptop which I use at work using DHCP to get its IP address. 
The DNS info is defined for the office environment.  When I bring the
laptop home, I'd like to connect to my home network, use DHCP to get the
IP address AND have DHCP set the DNS settings and the default gateway. 
The DNS info and def gateway settings are important since I'd like to
share the modem using ipchains (already configured and running).

Changing the laptop's setting each time is a pain.

Any special configuration settings?  I'm using NT 4.0 SP3 on the laptop,
with a Red Hat 6.0 Linux box at home.  Are there such options as
default_gatway and nameserver in DHCP?  Should I 
specify these setting for the laptop's MAC address to help?

Here's the dhcpd.conf

subnet 10.0.0.0 netmask 255.255.0.0 {
        range 10.0.0.3 10.0.0.20 ;
        option subnet-mask 255.255.0.0 ;
        option broadcast-address 10.0.0.255 ;
        }


Thanks for the help,
Scott
