Unfortunately, using Windows 2000, you _can't_ add a second static IP address as suggested if TCP/IP is set up to use DHCP - it's disabled :-(

I noticed that, and had to stop using DHCP on my system. Nice thing is my ISP gives static IP's by default, and disabled the DHCP server the cable modem has to not conflict with the one I set up on the LAN.

The next version of NT (Codename Whistler) does allow DHCP and staticially assigned IP's to coexist. And in theory, once they have it working all the way, it will be backported to 2000 in a service pack. (Hopefully SP2).
