Mac addresses are unique (you can fake/clone them but that is another topic discussion) - imho they therefore can be used globally as well? But saying that, it is in my case not a problem to use them locally as the issue concerns my local network. > You can set up DHCP to issue fixed addresses based on MAC. I do use DHCP and fixed combined. Using this I am familiar with; my issue is identifying hardware in a network that is partitially using DHCP. Thanks, Jos Chrispijn
