Yes. NWAM can handle static addresses as well. I was running it using
the 'edit /etc/nwam/llp' file. But with latest build, that is not working.
NWAM gives the applet on the panel showing activity (there are others as
well but ...:) )
Anyways, I will get back to trying the physical:default method after
some time. DHCP is okay for now.
Thanks all.

I'm not aware that NWAM and static network config can live happily
together. If you're using a static IP address, why do you still
need/want NWAM enabled? What is missing from physical:default that
nwam gives you?
An alternative is to instruct your DHCP server to always allocate the
same IP address. That way, you can leave NWAM to do its thing, and
although it's technically DHCP, you get the same address each time, as
if it was statically set.
I used to run this config years ago (tying the IP address to the mac
address on the server end so that it agreed with DNS), but it's ~10
years since I did this, and it wasn't Sun's DHCP server that I used at
the time...

Hello All!
This is for my desktop. I want to change default behaviour of DHCP to
static IP.
I am aware of the steps by using the physical:default instead of NWAM.
But, is there a way to set the hostname and static IP using NWAM?
I am running the latest internal build. The configuration dialogs are
different from what I was using before.
So, what is the 'official' way of doing it? Thanks
