Mark,

Your 2 cents are worth more than that and if I was doing this for
anything important I probably would give it a fixed IP.  BUT I'm
trying to figure this stuff out (like my kids say) "JUST CAUSE".

If in the real world people do this with fixed IP's then I'll do
that (the machine I'm on has a fixed IP for other such reasons).
BUT for learning I thought I'd try it with DHCP.

Thanks,

Brad
