Re: Your XDMCP patch for Win 95


I'm using DHCP and my dynamic IP is 192.168.1.10.  Does Cygwin only work
with static IP addresses?  I suppose there's a chance that my router isn't
keeping track of client names properly.

You should be able to set the IP in the Preferences Dialog for the network.

Choose the TCP-IP Protocol from the list in the networksettings-panel.
Select Properties and Change the field IP-Adress to 192.168.1.10
