Accepted. A little while ago we had a laptop that was intermittently on the lan. At that time I used fixed ip for all the others but requested an ip from the router for that one. Then I remembered that she was using it as a stand alone when not on our lan, so she didn't need multiple ips, and I changed her to static. For laptops that join more than one lan, I would have thought it was essential to have dhcp. Anne
