[lug] new to BLUG, Hello, @Home setup

[Shannon Johnston]

I don't know if this is a big help but on my @Home service even if you're
pulling an address from the DHCP server, it comes up the same every time.
I've just set that static IP address in the ifcfg-eth0 file and I'm good
to go.
Do you know if it's pushing through a different IP everythime you power
up?
