Even on systems using static addresses, some still use DHCP to automatically configure you with your static details. It simplifies things for ISPs with clients unfamiliar with networking. It also takes care of things that do change, like name servers, gateways, etc., even if your IP remains static. It might be worth checking if your ISP does that. -- [tim@bigblack ~]$ uname -ipr 2.6.22.1-41.fc7 i686 i386 Using FC 4, 5, 6 & 7, plus CentOS 5. Today, it's FC7.
