I think his point was that after the DHCP lease runs out, the IP address may
cease to work because they will either stop routing it or give it to someone
else. As long as you have the lease, you'll have the same IP address, and
when it runs out, it may stop working, so configuring it manually won't do
you much good. And that is all beside the point, which is that it's silly
to hardcode your IP address in the first place, because your script will
cease to work if it changes or you try to use the script someplace else. Go
ahead and do what you wanna do, but don't come asking for help here when
stuff stops working later. :)
