I am a long time M1X user going back to when it was first made available in
Newton. I serve my personal web page from my PC (both from Windows and from
Linux depending on what's booted up). Under M1X, your host name is static
and DNS served. Your IP address is assigned via DHCP, but they rarely change
it. I think I have had 3 or 4 max, one change was when I changed NICs,
another was when they renumbered Newton.
