This makes sense. However, it also makes sense to not support dynamic
IP addresses, because if it changes, the configuration of all clients
will be invalid. If the user is advanced enough to have local DNS, and
to put in a hostname in the client configuration, then said user would
not need the output of this field anyway.

My thoughts are that if I get an empty string after quering
("network", "lan", "ipaddr"), I can print a short sentence that reads
something along these lines:

"IP address not static. Please set a static IP address in Network->LAN."

or even simply "IP address not static."

Would this work any better than just leaving the field empty?

Cheers,
Iordan
