Well, in my local area networks I like to set up my DHCP server to set
static ip addresses by using mac addresses on the router. However you
can assign
static ip addresses however at the moment I do not have a ubuntu box
do it.. isn't there a /etc/sysconfig file you can modify.


Do you have SSH running on your system could that be why SCP isn't working?
Can you SSH into your other systems?
