 That should also be possible, it would leave the autoconfiguration as it
 is. But then you have to set the MAC address before the network configures.

 I donot know how it is done in other os's, but in Linux it is trivial.
 I set the MAC address for the NIC that connects to my ISP. I this way I
 replaced the full server and NIC cards, without having to login again for
 years. It also enables me to change NIC without the dynamic address changing.

 It only changes when I do a proper shutdown and DHCP releases the address, or
 when there is a major hardware reorganisation with my ISP.
