[EAS] The Real Cost of Converters

[Harold Price]

Richard,

DHCP will take away the requirement to get the gateway, net mask, and 
DNS server(s) correct.

If you have a well behaved router, you'll get the same IP address - 
some also allow you to register a MAC address to get the same IP address.

DNS servers don't change often, but they do from time to time.  Some 
routers will act as a DNS, so you only need to enter the address of 
the router in the ENDEC, not the  real, changeable, DNS.

DHCP will usually make your life easier, if you have a well behaved router.
