Why have dhcp, *if* one chooses for static address?
What do others think?
I really would like to see dhcp removed. It should be an additional
choice. This would really speed things up. I have to wait almost 10
minutes because I have 3-4 network cards in my machine. They all have
static IP's. I do not use dhcp. If/when I do use it I have most IP's
assigned so that the machines are accessible at the same locations. Most
people I work with do not use dhcp. When I have multiple ISP's. Usually
one one assigns IP's via dhcp. In that case I would select dhcp. I
really dislike it as a default.
