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?
IMHO a combination of both may be the best solution. Machines with static IP addresses don't have problems when the DHCP server is down and, on the other hand, new devices (e.g. visitor's notebooks) can get temporary IP addresses easily when the DHCP server is used. -- A.M.
