Until fairly recently I have always had static IPs and chosen to use static IPs. I have always been able to tell the installer so, and have ended up with a properly configured network and a well-written network interfaces file. I now use DHCP with addresses fixed in the router via MAC address, so this doesn't arise. Lisi
