Someone here posted that he had a program that would check for the presence of another host on the LAN. I'm not sure if it was based on MAC or IP but if you can't find that, I would think some kind of arp-based script could tell you if a specific interface was nearby. Then just create a couple of virtual interfaces that are mapped via that script: one for DHCP, one for static. -g
