I strongly suggest that all devices providing network services - servers, printers, etc - have statically assigned IP addresses. There is no end to the nightmares that can happen in a DHCP only environment.
Our server subnets (we have separate VLANs for servers from the rest of the building) don't even run DHCP - you must assign an address statically. -------------------------------------------------------------- Roger D.
