arrange network numbers and DNS names in advance.
Even better, how about someone agrees to run a DHCP server?
Fine. First, can you point us at the best documentation for how to do this? Is the HOWTO the best guide? Secondly, how do we arrange the gateway? That has to have a fixed address, yes? Finally, what do we do with boxes like mine -- I want to use SLIP ;)
Client-wise it makes life *much* easier -- I use DHCP at work, so when it comes to plugging it in to a DHCP-enabled network (e.g. I'm away at the IETF right now), I need make *no* changes to my configuration at all.
Not even to send email? Sorry, just a nitpick.
