Apart from the most obvious - static addresses being configured by your central DHCP server, rather than each machine requiring individual configuration. There can be other useful features, for some people. Such as its ability to do things when it notices a network coming up. A static machine is still subject to the other side of the network changing (e.g. a server going down and then coming back), and Network Manager can detect something like that. You could have the status change trigger things that might be useful (check the time, restart Samba when it's gone off in a sulk, etc.). So, there can still be a point to using it, it just depends on your needs. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -r 2.6.27.25-78.2.56.fc9.i686 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
