> Open Transport does dhcp, Mactpc is static only. I was amused that MacTCP's "Dynamic" button doesn't actually use DHCP but merely picks a non-pingable IP address at random! It does have an option to "get IP from server" when using dialup, but I'm using Ethernet and use dhcpd to dynamically assign IPs to each machine, so Open Transport may be a better option for me.

Just keep multiplying by 256! 1.2.3.4: ( ( 1 * 256 + 2 ) * 256 + 3 ) * 256 + 4 -- Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away. -- Philip K.
