Well, I haven't gotten around to installing win2k or OS X yet. The last
time I installed NT4 I seem to remember it explicitly asking me if I
wanted to use DHCP or not, but I don't remember if I was on a network
with a DHCP server when I did that, so it might have tried and failed.
Apparently my information is terribly out of date. It appears as if I'll
have to humbly stand corrected.
