The reason we use DHCP is that we are sharing a DHCP cable connection...but our router allows us to assign a static IP per computer via the built-in DHCP router in it...kinda like NAT or Proxy Services, just without an additional computer. Also, our router is on the 220v leg of the house current, and it never dies. Also, even if the router goes down, it is configured via the web browser so it is a simple matter of changing the forwarding ports (2 clicks) to reset the DYNDNS for the website and ftp. -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
