Not really a good option since the machines on the home network are.
1.) windows machines (98 and one very slow (133Mhz) XP), I've been
unable to find a windows dhcp server (correct me if I'm wrong) 
2.) very slow (133Mhz-233Mhz)
3.) out of my control 8-9 month out of the year while I'm at school.
(keeping things simple is the easest way to keep me from getting calls
about the computers not working)
4.) None of the machines is ever left on all the time.
