My laptop is virtually always behind some local network so it almost always has an IP address of 192.168.x.x
.
I often want to SSH into the laptop. Right now, whenever it turns off it gets assigned a new IP address and I have to go over to it, get its IP address, walk back to my desktop, and then SSH in.
Is there any big harm in just assigning it an IP address like 192.168.1.337
and dealing with collisions if they ever arise, rather than dealing with having to check for a new IP every few weeks?
Alternatively, is there some solution that sidesteps this problem?
1I would be impressed if you manage to assign an IP ending in 337 – Sirap – 2020-01-02T02:38:58.030
