Hi all,

My university is slowly shifting to DHCP from static IPs at the behest of
our support staff. I can accept that life is easier for them (or they think
it will be) under DHCP, but what's in it for us users?

We have the usual 10baseT TCP/IP network with multiple subnets and mixed
Mac and PC platforms. Servers are NT, Novell and Unix.

From my reading of this and other lists, I foresee problems for users. I'm
particularly concerned about Mac users (of which I am one). So do we (PC
and Mac users) gain or lose by this change? All informed opinions and
experiences are welcome as I'd like to garner views from all sides of the
issue.

Regards,

Lesley Vita
