{{Admon/note | Note! | Even though DHCP gives out IP address dynamically, it also has the ability to reserve an IP address for a certain computer. In this sense it's almost as if the client computer has a static IP even though it uses DHCP to get it. This is useful if you want to be able to put entries in your /etc/hosts file and not have to worry about the entry becoming invalid over time. In Linux we refer to this as supplying a fixed address to a host. Microsoft calls it a reservation.}}
# Make certain that you are located in your fedora3 virtual machine.
# Create a host declaration for fedora2. Make sure you record the correct <code>hardware ethernet</code> setting that corresponds to the MAC address of the interface in fedora2.
# Give it the fixed-address 192.168.235.12
