The only thing to watch out for if you use static IP addresses is you ISP changing their DNS. I have had Verizon change theirs 2 times since I've subscribed, and it's a PITA to track down. With the dynamic addresses this is taken care of for you. I have machines and printers on my network that are static as well, but most of the computers themselves I have left as DHCP. I set mine up with a subnet of 255.255.254.0, and use 192.168.0.x for static, and 192.168.1.x as dynamic addresses. --> Russ -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
