Hi James ,
i use a mix at home , my "normal" pc's are on static , but if i comming with 
my notebook it use DHCP

that's my config file for dhcpd


# dhcpd.conf
#
# Configuration file for ISC dhcpd (see 'man dhcpd.conf')
#
option domain-name "ampr.org";                      # << my home domain name
option domain-name-servers gateway.ampr.org;        # << my DNS server

default-lease-time 86400;
max-lease-time 864000;

subnet 44.128.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.240 {         # << my subnet with mask  
  
  range 44.128.1.12 44.128.1.14;                    # << the dhcp range ... ( 
only 3 machines it's enoughf ) 
  option broadcast-address 44.128.1.15;             # << the broadcast adress 
  option routers gateway.ampr.org;                  # << my router to internet
 }


that's all and it work perfectly when friends comes with notebook they can 
upload and download files , i also use a samba server ....
