I was referring to the situation where you use the DHCP server to give out pseudo-static addresses. I have always used addresses outside of, but in the same subnet as, the reserved range. The reserved range just tells the DHCP server which addresses to use in the absence of any other specifications. -- Neil Bothwick You can't teach a new mouse old clicks.
