[wplug] Re: dhcp on @home

[Rob Nelson]

DHCP is tricky for one simple reason: each area is different. I'm in State
College, PA (actually Bellefonte, which varies from State College, and even
parts of State College are different) and normal (without a hostname) dhcp
used to work. Then, it didn't. Now, it's supposed. But I called AT&T and
asked for an IP address. You may want to do this too. Their DHCP servers
won't assign an IP that is pingable. So long as you keep your machine on all
the time, this will work for you.
