Then have your dns admin point your domain name to that IP. This way whenever your machine requests an IP via DHCP it will get the same one. * email the admin of your dhcp/dns servers and have them setup dynamic dns updates. This is a lot more complex then the above suggestion, but it means that whenever your machine gets a new IP it automatically updates the dns server with your new IP. > zen.thought.org is an example; i is an older 4.7 system > hardwired as 10.0.0.247.
