We definately use DHCP. I even use it on my 4 PC LAN at home. But my Router/Firewall has a DHCP server built into it. I have "hard coded" my MAC addresses into the DHCP server, so a particular PC always gets the same IP address. Why do I do it this way? Centralized control of the IP addresses, rather than "hard coded" on each PC. -- John McKown Senior Systems Programmer HealthMarkets Keeping the Promise of Affordable Coverage Administrative Services Group Information Technology This message (including any attachments) contains confidential information intended for a specific individual and purpose, and its content is protected by law.
