+I had problems getting back to the original static IP on a permanent
+basis.  I had renamed the temporary config file, expecting that it
+would make it invisible to the network, but oddly enough, that didn't
+work.  Deleting the temporary config altogether solved my problem.
+
+Thanks for trying to help.
