I'm confused now. Do you want to use static addressing or obtain an 
address via dhcp? Your config gives you static addressing; Justin's 
gives assignment by dhcp.

Are you saying you want to use dhcp but request a specific address (if 
so, may I ask why?)? If that is what you're after, I don't think your 
original config would have ever achieved this other than by a fluke.

As usual, I'm very likely wrong about something.
