OT Sco Unix question

[Bob Rasmussen]

Del,

I don't think dynamic is a good idea.

A server, such as the SCO box, is generally set up with a static IP 
address, so that the clients know how to find it - by its static IP 
address. This even applies to print servers, although some of those now 
have creative ways to avoid it.

I would focus my efforts on figuring out how to make the new router work 
with some static IP's. I'd be really surprised if it didn't allow for 
that.

My old router somehow supported both dynamic and fixed IP, but I don’t think this one will do that.  The PC’s in my network are set up for dynamic IP allocation, but not SCO.  I am running Facetwin , but if TCP/IP is not working, it can do nothing.

The people who sold me my SCO box and set it up are long gone at this point, so I need help from somebody who really knows how, and, of course, I am willing to pay a reasonable fee for such help.
