Actually, this isn't a bad idea.  You just need an easy way to configure
the IP address, and you're up and running. :)

(The only place this falls down is if the IP connection is a dial-up
connection on the very computer you want to have a secure connection
on.  This only happens when I'm at relatives house on vacation.)
