I have to admit, the more I dig into DVDStyler, I'm impressed at how featured it is. Coming from Encore, that's high praise. I think there should be a way to do this by editing the XML files, but I'm not sure exactly what to edit. I like to create hidden options where if a user highlights a certain chapter button, an additional button will appear to the right of that. Then they can move to the right and choose that button (see attached images). In Encore I could achieve this by adding the text of...

I can understad the convenience of a adding a client's IP address to the DNS records dynamically. However, we recently had a client with a hostname that matched the domain name of one of our website subdomains which caused all queries to resolve to that client's local IP address instead of the public IP hosting the server. Since I can't control the client hostnames, I'm feeling a little stuck. is it possible to stop the server from adding DHCP entries to the DNS hosts? Or is it possible to add DHCP...

I just deleted my old state file and had it generate a new one. It looked like the old one had some clients that have not been active for a long time still in there, so maybe it got corrupted somewherea long the way. Hopefully that will do the trick. Thanks

Huh, I have that file and I see that the modified date is today so it's being updated, but every time I use services.msc to restart DualServer it always starts assigning IP addresses from the beginning of the DHCP range and I have clients (usually macs) give warnings about another device with the same IP address. Is there something I can do to make sure it uses the state file? Thanks

I think I figured it out. I added a third RANGE_SET that has both the Router set to the relay Agent IP, and also includes the FilterMacRange rules for the Chromebooks. Dual DHCP server is smart enough to use the correct range. This tool is so powerful. The only thing I wish it would do is retain DHCP lease information every time I reload the configuration file. Every time I make a change new clients are assigned IP addresses that other clients had from before the reload that haven't timed out ye...

I have 2 VLANs - VLAN 10 has addresses like 10.10.x.x and VLAN 30 uses 172.30.x.x. I have student Chromebooks who use each VLAN for different occasions, and I want to give them specific IPs from each VLAN based on their MAC addresses (for content filtering purposes) I have a MAC address filter set up in a RANGE_SET for the 10 network and that works fine to assign them IP addresses like 10.10.60.x. However, I would like to set this up so that if the DHCP request comes in via the relay agent (172.30.0.1)...
