If it's the ISP issuing a static IP then he won't need to (use the -s |
| 24 |
flag) to ask for it. They'll issue it to him if he uses a standard |
| 25 |
DHCP request to ask for just any old IP. DHCP servers can be |
| 26 |
configured to always issue the same IP to a given MAC address and |
| 27 |
ADSL ISPs in the UK issue static IPs via DHCP according to PPP |
| 28 |
authentication info. There's surely no need for him to specify it. |
