If you are using DHCP, why not reserve the IP that you need for that workstation and map it to the stations MAC address?
That way, the station always gets allocated that IP.
Or am I missing something?</font>
That would work fine under most circumstances. However, sometimes I need to have one IP address within a certain range to be able to access the internet through our firewall. Then other times, I need to have another IP address to be able to telnet into a router to configure it. This is becasue we have restricted the ability to telnet into it from just certain addresses.
That is why I wanted to be able to change it on the fly. However it doesn't look like that is gonna be possible.
Thanks again for everyones' suggestions!
