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 ). ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
