20 I don't need it. But in our network most people use windows - and don't know
21 anything about computers. So they get their static ip assigned by dhcp. Once
22 in a while the server chokes - and that is one of the many reasons why I
23 usually don't use dhcp. There are a lot better ones, but if you really need
24 to know the details, ask off-list ;)
