What router did you get ?

I use DHCP on all my machines, and with DD-WRT on the router running
dnsmasq as both a DHCP and DNS server, I can access all my machines by
name (if I let the router serve as the DNS server for the entire
network). I think its better then static IPs, and it works out of the
box (you do need to setup your computers to send their hostname over
DHCP - MS-Windows does this by default, Linux OSs usually don't ).
