Should read like Mr. Vox's setup (with correct IP assignment)
But still it tried to equate a fixed address with a fqdn and not a IP
address. ooooh soooo Close... but no Cigar ;-).
BTW on a small network that won't stress the number of IPs allocated the
DHCP server usually re-assigns the old address (not guaranteed though).
For ease of administration dhcp is good for a ton of computers or for
computers you don't have access to often (or mobile computers). If you
have less than 5 computers on the net I would just assign them
statically. But its your system & you know it best........
