The statically-assigned addresses start with the first one above the
IP address of the box itself, and run upwards.  The dynamically-
assigned addresses run upwards from the end of the statically-assigned
ones.  Personally, I've never understood why anyone would use
statically-assigned addresses, since they're harder to set up and have
no obvious benefits.  Are there applications that require them?
