You can't assign that a specific system always gets the same IP, but gets it 
assigned via DHCP?  Given that I have a mail server behind the router that 
would be a rather show-stopping problem. :-)  (I see no reason to statically 
configure a computer in the 21st century when DHCP is supposed to do that all 
for you.)

"If nature has made any one thing less susceptible than all others of 
exclusive property, it is the action of the thinking power called an idea, 
which an individual may exclusively possess as long as he keeps it to 
himself; but the moment it is divulged, it forces itself into the possession 
of every one, and the receiver cannot dispossess himself of it."  -- Thomas 
Jefferson
