even if it is a dhcp address, the chances of the address changing often are relatively low. usually, even with dhcp, you retain the same dhcp address until they renumber. in my experience, most isp's that do it this way renumber no more than once a month but your mileage may vary. incidentally, what prompted you to want to backtrack to them? if it is a windows box, there are some crafty things you can do to it to gain information about the box/user if it isn't properly configured. very few are, actually. nmap it and see if it can be fingerprinted. -- christian void - [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.morphine.com/void/ gpg key available on request jay is my hero. _______________________________________________ Bits mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.sugoi.org/mailman/listinfo/bits
