The 4.8 box's IP addr has been stable.
The other thing you could try would be to set a static IP on your 
workstations...
I just can't help but notice that this is only a problem on my 5.3 box 
and not on the 4.8. AFAIK the config's are identical, although 
obviously I am still a newbie at this.

BTW, why is my nic on 4.8 ep0 but on 5.3 dc0? Is that the way it 
should be?

Marty,
The ed0, dc0 situation is because of the driver the NIC uses.  If you 
have two, or three, etc, cards that all use the same driver, then 
you'll start to see dc0, dc1, dc2, etc (provided they use the dc 
driver...
