A static IP is not needed to connect to the network, as all of the sectors are configured to provide DHCP up on connect. Once you have successfully connected and things are the way you want them, it is possible to setup a DHCP reservation for you out of the pool to maintain the same address at the EOC if desired.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Go for it and give a shout if you have other questions.
