Thanks for the replies everyone.

The main reason I want static IP is sheer laziness! I am getting tired of searching for my NASs every time I want to do some admin on them in a browser. Potentially, at some point I may look at setting up FTP access over the internet too.

As an aside, what are the main pros and cons of static IP vs DHCP?

How (in XP Professional)? Thanks.
