No, I just take the IP address assigned by the DHCP server in my router. OpenWRT can be set up to assign a preset IP address based on the machine's MAC address. Other routers have screens that show the leased addresses.

Did I miss something somewhere that would have allowed me to set this ip address before the system booted?
