Apologies for my previous reply, I was cribbing from an old instruction
to myself about a somewhat ancient French router given to me.
On the BT Hub I've got now there are only 2 ways to stop DHCP
interfering with you. One is to disable router DHCP, the other is to tell
the router to always use the same IP addresses that you have set
into the router manually: and these, of course, must match your
entries in /etc/hosts.
  When I originally set up static addresses I had to reboot my machines
a few times and re-write my /etc/hosts on my machines before the
networking settled down. For the last 2-3 years I've had no hiccups
whatsoever, regardless of what network management gui I've used.
sorry for the mis-info, I've probably forgotten some other things as
well, my memory is really shot these days.
