Just my two cents: I've always considered DHCP to be the lazy way out of a situation; that is, unless you've got a large corporate department with heaps of laptops and "changing" systems - otherwise, static IP's lend to better overall network accountability and security. In having static IP's for a controlled environment, you can literally account for every packet on the network without heaps of investigation and digging through logfiles. K.I.S.S. - and better overall network performance - especially with a mixture of OS's and hardware. Once again, just my two cents. -- Mon Jun 16 07:10:00 EST 2003 07:10:00 up 2 days, 14:24, 3 users, load average: 0.06, 0.14, 0.16 ----------------------------------------------------------------- | __ __ |kuhn media australia | | /-oo /| |'-. |http://kma.0catch.com | | .\__/ || | | |================================| | _ / `._ \|_|_.-' |stephen kuhn | | | / \__.`=._) (_ | email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | ----------------------------------------------------------------- linux user #:267497 linux machine #:194239 * MDK 9.1 & RH 7.3 Mandrake Linux Kernel 2.4.21-11mdk Cooker for i586 ----------------------------------------------------------------- * This message was composed on a 100% Microsoft free computer * One man's folly is another man's wife. -- Helen Rowland
