Or just use USB at home and DHCP in the office... =)

Yes, I can run either USB or ethernet at home and at the office. But the whole reason I want to get ethernet transparently working in both locations is because I like Displayserver.

Specifically, I use Displayserver as a tool which lets the Empeg become a home->work file taxi with hundreds of megabytes of capacity. Who needs zip drives when I'm already carrying the empeg back and forth between home and work?

It works like this:

- Anything I want to taxi, I zip up into a file called TAXI.ZIP.
- Rename TAXI.ZIP to TAXI.MP3
- Use Emplode to put TAXI.MP3 into the "Unattached Items" playlist.
- Take the empeg to the other location (home or office).
- Use Displayserver to grab TAXI.MP3 out of that playlist.
- Rename it and unzip it.
- Use Emplode to delete TAXI.MP3 from the empeg.

Now, you only need ethernet at the destination end of that transaction. My problem is that I do this sort of thing in both directions, on networks that are configured two different ways (home=fixed IPs, work=DHCP on a different set of subnet addresses). So whenever I switch directions, it requires me to do the extra step of re-configuring the Empeg to recognize the other type of network.

I was just hoping I could add a fixed IP to Win2k that allowed it to work on the same subnet as the Empeg.
