Micorsoft DHCP can reserve IP leases just like linux can so he can reserve
the machines IP so it won't change.
If he needs it to me dynamic for some reason and he's question is will the
name always point to it even when it changes the IP then that's another
issue coz I don't know if IPchains handles names instead of IPs...??

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...
later
