Can anyone offer an opinion on the pros and cons of using DHCP versus fixed IP addresses to set up the IP addresses for my small local network? Or point me to a document on the subject? DHCP requires a server. Static requires configuration of each computer.
I assume that if I install (and start) dhcpd on one of my machines, then any other machine that joins the net and asks for a DHCP address will get one and be on the net also, right? I also assume that if I were to be so foolish as to have dhcpd running on two machines on the network, the two copies would get into an electronic cockfight. Paul Abrahams
