Dhcp

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

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

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

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???

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

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