This is the kind of thing I REALLY want to know about.

I would love to see some "best practice" information.

So you get better performace with static IP address?

Better connection?

Jumbo frames are better?

I have a Mac (Logic) and a PC (Win7+VEP5)

I have a Netgear gigabit switch between them.

What are the best settings on both sides?

I have the Mac on Automatic/Using DHCP.

I have the PC to Obtain an IP address automatically.

I still assign static IPs to all music computers. I have two rigs are on the same (LAN) network, so the additional fear I have is that opening up a session on one rig will try to attach to a VEPro slave on the other. Static IPs seems to work for me and I haven't had any reason to change. That said, to know from VSL what they say "best practices" are, would be very helpful.
