I use a script that allows me to set an IP address and hostname to a MAC address with a single command (it updates both bind and dhcpd). At the school I work at, we used to run our network with static (set on the client side) IP addresses. A couple of years ago, we made the switch over to DHCP with the "static" IP address coming from the server, and it's made life much easier. We've found that we image/update the computers far more than we ever change network cards. Jonathan
