Kahled, On the other hand, it is trivial to setup static internal IP addresses for your machines if your router supports such a thing.
Essentially, you are simply telling the router to always assign the same internal IP address to a particular internal MAC address; the MAC addresses for each of your machines can usually be displayed within the router configuration pages. By doing this, you gain the advantage of always knowing the IP address of your internal machines but you retain the benefit of DHCP in that you don't have to configure static IP addressing in the network properties of each machine.
