A static IP address is something you have to configure on the DHCP |
| 2 |
server, on the computer it just asks the server "What IP address am I |
| 3 |
supposed to have?". If you're set up with a static IP, it compares your |
| 4 |
mac address to a list and gives you the one you've assigned to it. The |
| 5 |
client side doesn't do anything out of the ordinary. |
