Well, they aren't giving me any trouble. :)

"Fun" is relative. See following double-quoted paragraph.

This was what I tried first and I'd be happy to make it work; I have
no particular attachement to DHCP.

Automatically assigning an IP via DHCP:
"ping localhost": succesfully pings 127.0.0.1
"ping gow": succesfully pings 10.0.0.3
"ping 10.0.0.3": ditto
"ping peon": "Unknown host peon." (DNS is disabled anyway)
"ping 10.0.0.1": "Request timed out."
Statically configured IP:
"ping localhost": succesfully pings 127.0.0.1
"ping gow": succesfully pings 10.0.0.3
"ping peon": "Unknown host peon." (DNS is disabled anyway)
"ping 10.0.0.1": "Request timed out."
Here's a tcpdump | grep gow with the static IP, watching gow boot up.
09:53:40.859140 arp who-has gow.study tell gow.study
09:53:41.632729 gow.study.netbios-ns > 10.0.0.255.netbios-ns:

and after 9:53:43, nothing. Do your winboxen perform this router
solicitation? Is it also on this crazy address?

Oh, that's not good to hear. Maybe I won't need to set that up.

This would be wonderful, thank you.

10:07 pts/0 $ grep study /etc/hosts
10.0.0.1 peon.study peon
10.0.0.2 bravo.study bravo
10.0.0.3 gow.study gow
Thanks for the help.
