I've done this 3 times, once in the UK (from here) so I'm really certain about
my opinion:
Get an ADSL ethernet router, with firewall and dhcp
Do anything with the computer (but use dhcp)
For a long time, I had wanted to ask: why use DHCP in home networks
when one can use STATIC ip (using private network ip addresses)?
Is it not that DHCP is mainly used in situations with the following
combinations of circumstances ?
1. Networks with large numbers of workstations that are not
permanently on line (e.g. customers-workstations-of ISP that connect
only when
required).
3. There are more workstations (customers) than there are
public ip numbers available in an ISP.
4. Prevent customers of ISP from running WWW(FTP,MTA,etc) sites without
paying for fixed ip number(s).
Just curious to know, why.
