Do not use DHCP and fixed IP-Addresses if possible. This isn't a good mix. DHCP servers usually are able to assign fixed IPs based on the MAC address of the network card. But the ones in DSL router usually don't have this option.
Ah -- but the one in mine does -- it appears that 11.0 sends a different dhcp-client-identifier than 10.2 does (which used the MAC address by default) and the DHCP server gives it a different IP. (It could also be that 11.0 fixes a bug in 10.2 which might have used a slightly mangled version of the MAC address.)
Do you have any details on this? So far with 11.0, I haven't been able to get the DHCP client to work (the dhcp server is win 2003 I believe).
