While "static" means unchanging, in a computer network context a static address is one that's manually configured on the computer, as opposed to DHCP, which requires a server. That server can then be configured to always assign the same address or use the next available.
We're splitting hairs, but I agree with Anders - a static address is simply one that does not change. Whether it is configured via DHCP or on the individual server does not matter. All of my local servers are configured over DHCP which is the easiest, whereas my remote servers are all configured individually as I have no DHCP in the remote location. /Per Jessen, Zürich -- http://www.spamchek.com/ - your spam is our business. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
