The idea of static IP's behind your gateway is explanied in the LDP
via http://www.wdm.com/LDP/HOWTO/Networking-Overview-HOWTO.html
and in RFC 1631 "The IP Network Address Translator"
RFC 2663 "IP Network Address Translator (NAT) Terminology and
Considerations."

# Remember

How does one get DHCP to give out the same address to a particular host?
I have a Linksys Router/Switch that has DHCP and I would love to be able to
assign static IP addresses to each piece of equipment on my home network. I
have 2 desktops, 1 laptop, 2 printers and 2 scanners.
Please tell that it is easy.
