Re: Static IP not working under mac os X

[Mitch Bicquet <x1728@hotmail.com>]

It's a pain to have to check my IP each time I boot up! I want it not to
change!!
Also, my ISP doesn�t have to assign any numbers. My router has NAT and thus
handles all the adress conversion, the only thing my ISP knows is that my
router is oconnected, and behind it I can have 50 computers if I want, it
won't change anything.
