    Yep, all your assumptions are correct! I did in fact at some point 
try creating a lease for the em0 interface in "dhclient.conf", but I 
understand those leases are only used if the dhcp server is unavailable, 
and it never had any effect.

    ... But the dhcp server is in my router, so I followed your 
suggestion and created a static lease (which before I didn't know I 
could do), so now everything works - thanks a lot!!
