Good idea. I will do so in the future.

ok, i was not being very observant and forgot to switch the 'dynamic'
word to 'static' when I got home to my static IP network. I still
dont know how to make it so I can switch back and forth from static to
dhcp though. one way I have gathered is by switching the 'static'
word with 'dynamic' in my interfaces file and typing ifdown eth0 and
then ifup eth0 (I haven't tried that yet), but that seems like kind of
a hassle. Anyone know if that will work? Anyone know of a better
way? Thanks for the input,
Enantiomer
