if one has a class-C ip# ..and only using 20 ip# out of the range..
it is easy for someone to plug in an unauthorise machine into
your network... and sniff anything they like..
- laptops being plugged in w/ security audit is a prime example
of someone plugging stuff in w/o telling anybody
- the laptops could have been hacked while on the home lan
and now gets to transfer itself to the secure office lna
- so to prevent that... i disable dhcp ... and use the proper
broadcast and netmasks needed to eliminated un-used ip# that
could be used by floating laptops
