[one-users] Assigning fixed IP's to VM's

[cmasmas cmasmas]

Again, thanks for your answer. It seems the key to my problem. One last
thing:
It ask ONE for the correct IP, but it seems to be overriden with the IP from
DHCP server. Any clues?

*DHCPDISCOVER on eth0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 7
DHCPOFFER from 192.168.51.1
DHCPREQUEST on eth0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67
DHCPACK from 192.168.51.1
bound to 192.168.51.91 -- renewal in 1506 seconds.
done.*
