John,

That's more or less why I chose that little dhcp server, since it assigns a
'static'  ip for a particlar MAC address.. I suppose I could just pick a=20
separate range and use that but I kinda liked the idea of being able to
assign the ip to the devices and use DNS to refer to them but being sure
that I wouldn't have a conflict.

I'm actually trying to think a head a little... Last night (well early am
t=
his morning
I was doing some browsing and came across an ethernet temperature monitor.
They wanted something like =A3260 for it then =A340 for the probes. I
recko=
ned even if
I used a rabbit, a basic stamp and a ds1620 I'd still get in at well under
=
a third of their
total cost. The intention was to work out how to hang the stamp and rabbit
=
together (I know
a pic would make things even cheaper but I have very little experience of
t=
hem) Once I'd
done that it would just be a case of defining the ip in the dhcp server,
ad=
ding a dns entry
eg. livingroom.temperature.mydomain.com and then plugging it in...It would
=
mean that I
could just compile the code to a .bin file and then just build the units
an=
d download the code.

I'd then have a server component to collect all the readings from the
devic=
es...

I hope that sort of explains why I wanted to use dhcp...
