What router? I'm in San Diego right now and all my docs are in L.A.,
but the hardware router should have a table of IP's that it treats as
static.

I have an SMC 7004 and I *think* (it's been a few months) that you give
the SMC 7004 a range of IP addresses to be assigned through DHCP and all
addresses outside that range are treated as static. I think. And I
*think* the SMC 7004 has a subpage off of its DHCP setup page called
"Fixed Mapping" where you specify a specific machine's NIC MAC address
and what dotted decimal (x.x.x.x) IP address should be assigned to that
MAC address. I think. I might have this wrong. (But I'm always happy
to pass along rumours and innuendo.)

If you can find something similar with your own hardware router, the
manufacturer's tech support email may be able to give you more info.
The manuals that come with these things are rather terse so online help
is "the way to go".
