Tried that, but to no avail. I thought maybe there was a conflict with the 
number of IP addresses my router was handing out, but that doesn't make 
sense. I configured the DHCP pool to start at
192.168.1.101<http://192.168.1.101>and go up 25 (there are only about
5 network interfaces on my network so 25
is plenty). Then I tried assigning a static address to host X inside that 
range, and outside that range, and it doesn't seem to matter.
