more convient :) I suppose you could do some sort of dynamic dns thing with DHCP ..or use DHCP but assign static addresses(what I do on my home network, so I don't have to input the info when I install a box). If you never need to connect INTO a machine I guess it wouldn't be as important, but it may be useful for network monitoring tools. Of course, sadly many broadband ISPs don't offer static ips. >Most > clients just want to have things plug together and have them work. They do > not want to need to configure things. yeah, configure once and forget about it ...(if it's retail I assume they would configure the machine(s) with the software anyways, set the network config and ship it out). nate -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
