Thx for the prompt reply. I understand that much and am in the process of 
going thru that using ifconfig to get the mac address of each of my systems. 
i'd assume to use the wlan0 mac address for those connected wirelessly and 
the eth0 one for the cable connected?

I would also assume to mirror these static ip's in the network settings applet 
under the appropriate connection type?
