I understood Neil to mean: |

You pre-allocate IP addresses to specific MAC addresses for a range of e.g. |
| 16 |
192.168.0.1 to 192.168.0.10. Any new comers with MAC addresses not in the |
| 17 |
DHCP address allocation table will then obtain IP addresses outside this |
| 18 |
defined range. Some routers also allow you to specify the range within which |
| 19 |
DHCP addresses will be allocated. So you can set static address allocation |
| 20 |
outside said range. |
