Probably. However, it is also possible to use DHCP and assign an specific IP address based on the MAC address of the NIC. I do this on my home network. Why do this? So that the IP address stays the same, but the other information is dynamic and so that the IP configuration is centralized at the DHCP server and not on each workstation. This allows for a uniform "workstation image". -- John McKown Senior Systems Programmer HealthMarkets Keeping the Promise of Affordable Coverage Administrative Services Group Information Technology The information contained in this e-mail message may be privileged and/or confidential.
