If you watch your boot message, right before the login prompt, you
will see the assigned IP addy come up, from dhcp.
Then, you can add the line:
lease {fixed-address the.dhcp.ip.address;}
{curly braces, not parentheses} ...to /etc/dhclient.conf
and dhcp will always give you the same IP addy, when the lease renews.
You can also include the IP and server name, nickname to /etc/hosts
and also place the IP in httpd.conf in the 'Listen' directive, the
'BindAddress' directive, or the <VirtualHost xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx>
container, depending on how you configure Apache to run.
