I'm the first to admit my python skills aren't great, so I'm pleased to 
see an improvements.

I really like seing the profiles on the CD as well as the system. This 
allows me to carry out some diagnostics against the profiles if I screw 
up the systems entries.
I'd be please to see what the code looked like to have a two level menu 
- if only as a selfish learning exercise.

I think this is my poor understanding of how this works. I didn't want 
to rely on dhcp either -  I just couldn't workout how to append  an IP 
address. 
This answers for me  a problem I saw today.
Should the broadcast address be added as well? For completeness?
