Re: ip address on lan getting hijacked

I agree, static IPs are pretty much necessary for anyone who uses apache
on any box or several.

Well, no, not really. You need an _unchanging_ IP, or you need to be able
to address the server by name. Both can be handled on the Linksys by using
DHCP but making it give out specific addresses to specific MAC addresses.

say here, I have 3 webcams I use for home
monitoring (teenagers, gotta love em) every box has a static IP that
has a cam on it , apache listens on different port for each box. The
router directs to a certain LAN IP depending on what port (cam) I choose
to view. I also have a webserver on yet a different box with a static
IP. DHCP would wreak havoc on my setup.

No it wouldn't.
