Adding machines to a network without DHCP is _always a pain :) Is there
a special reason why you use static addresses?

Because I do not have a DHCP server and also because I want to use the
same addresses as my Windows PC's.

(Ubuntu assumes a server
will be present which is not a really good idea.)

Which Ubuntu version is this?

6.10
