Most do not run unix, but at work I can't think of any servers that are using static configurations. They might be assigned static IPs, but they'll use DHCP just the same. I deploy my network at home in the same way - most of my standing PCs have DNS and static IP assignments, but they still use DHCP. This way I can still utilize PXE for backups/etc, and adjust things at any time fairly easily. Rich
