My humble opinion is that DHCP is a far more command and standard way of configuring machines (especially portable laptops) than using static addresses, and the wierd networking system you say you've seen and used at some hotel simply scares the willies out of me. By all means go ahead and try to build your own version, but I wouldn't like to have to debug it when things start playing up :-) Antony.
