Static IPs on the field

We ran into this issue at Merrimack this weekend. Our students had set the IP to 10.1.25.72 (for some reason) and the field couldn't find us. Changing it to 10.1.25.2 fixed this issue. From what the folks were saying there, if you are going with static... use 10.xx.yy..2 as it's the fallback. If you have no reason not to use mDNS, just use mDNS.
