There are very main reasons you would want this. It will make your internal IP address constant, meaning your IP address will never change, and you can always access it by that number.

Like many, I gave into the Apple trend. I admit, I hated them - but I blame this all on my experience with them in high school and somewhat in University. I used them through Elementary school and all through High school, and used them occasionally at university if all of the PCs in the computer labs were taken. In high school, were forced to use those colorful "Tube-television" looking iMacs. These things ran OS9, and either sucked, or were just not set up correctly. They would crash at least twice a class... from doing basic surfing, and Claris Works. Instead of the blue screen of death, which Apple proudly doesn't have, we got the frozen screen of death. Being awesome computers, we had to find a paperclip to press the little tiny reset button.
