Sure.  I'll set this up when I get back home this evening.

Not sure about the 192.168.2.5  vs 192.168.2.6 confusion.  My laptop
is connected to a Belkin router, and uses DHCP.  I sometimes have the
wireless interface connected as well, so perhaps this sometimes occurs
when only the wired NIC is connected and sometimes when both the wired
and wireless NICs are connected?  I'll also see if I can uncover any
DHCP history

I'll try to follow the above instructions, and will report out about 8PM PDT.
