====Workstation IP allocation====
Control of workstation access to the web (when using dansguardian), is implemented by nominating the workstation IP in the various dansguardian configuration files (ie the local LAN IP address). To apply consistent filtering rules or allow proxy bypass (see section above), the workstation IP must remain the same throughout restarts & DHCP IP refreshes or allocations. Configuring your workstations to have a consistent IP is a fundamental & important step when configuring your whole computer system.
This can be achieved by manually specifying a fixed IP address when each workstation is configured, but requires every workstation to be setup individually. Alternatively the workstation can be configured for auto allocation of an IP, and the Hostnames and Addresses panel in server manager can then be used to force the allocation of a specified IP by the SME DHCP server, based on the workstation NIC mac address. See the SME Manual for further details at http://wiki.contribs.org/SME_Server:Documentation:Administration_Manual:Chapter13#Reserving_IP_Addresses_Through_DHCP
The basic steps are to determine the mac address of your workstation NIC and then create a hostname eg station5 and enter the mac address and the required "forced or fixed" IP eg 192.168.1.5
Any reference to the filtering of station5 then uses the IP 192.168.1.5, which will always stay the same, unless the NIC is changed. Remember to re-enter the mac address details into server manager, in the event the workstation NIC or motherboard is changed.
