Hi Peter, quite an easy answer: YESNO! ;) Until I read your mail, my thought of "statis IP" was: Server and client set their IPs for themselves statically and "know" of the IPs of the counterpart. Your mail gives (at least to me) a totally new aspect: DHCPd "dynamically" assigns the same IP to the client all the time. Which is an elegant solution around the problem of currently don't knowing how to set an IP on my tablet other than via DHCP. Downside: One still needs to configure DHCPd on the server side/site. Thanks for the new aspect! :) Best regards, Meino
