Dhcp

[Raslin]

On a network if there is a active Dhcp server then the dhcp settings should override static setting???

[ol jeb]

not if you've hardcoded the info. on the machine in question.

[Raslin]

lets say that your isp uses dhcp but if you staticly assigned a ip to yourself that was in the same subnet you could steal the internet connection of that pc - would that be traceable

[ol jeb]

hmm...depends on what your isp is logging. they could trace your MAC addy.

btw-since the isp is using dhcp to assign addy's, you might run into issues if someone else on the network is using that same ip already???

[Raslin]

what if you use a router to spoof you MAC Address - and use the ip at a unsual time - in therory your pc would untraceable

[ol jeb]

not sure why you want to be untraceable?? but in theory, yes.
