Not really. guessnet, laptop-net, intuitively, whereami, and no doubt numerous other packages, usedynamic methods to detect which network you're on. As long as there's one other machine on your network that it can find by MAC address they will choose the configuration for you. If you know one machine on your home net then you can default anything else to assume DHCP. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
