I've done both. I have DHCP and static locations, and sometimes change
that way. But the braindead scheme for locations, where you can't lock
the data in place, means sometimes I'll overwrite what was there, so I
end up with manual changes.
Next time I get caught, I'll do dumps of /sbin/ifconfig to see what show
there. But I just had a DCHP set address of 172.16.73.201 showing in the
control panel, and the box was at 192.168.1.1, pinging away.
