i think the question relates more to this:
"does ipchains store hosts to allow or deny by name or ip?"
his firewall works, he just wants to know whether DHCP will make his life
hell as machines keep their name but change ip (or vice versa, i can't
remember which way he said his LAN and W2K work)
for what it is worth, the how to does not mention this point, it may be a
case of reading the source...
