[mythtv-users] Re: Why only numeric IP addresses work?

[Matt Mossholder]

For clarification, it might be more understandable for people if you say
that all machines but the firewall are DHCP clients, but the server
systems are always assigned the same address by the DHCP server, based
on MAC address. This isn't a static address, it is just a consistently
assigned dynamic address :)
