   Not for me either. But some in this thread do not seem to agree.

   You probably mean that you need a fixed IP address.   
   Static configuration is just one way to get a fixed address.   
   On a LAN, DHCP reservation is another way to get a fixed address.   
   Note that DHCP reservation is not necessarily based on the client MAC   
   address but may be based on any other client identifier, such as the   
   hostname.

   In the client IP settings.

   On any other device in the network.
