It chokes and dies with an exception :-( (athough the description says that it can be left blank on transient nodes). > If > not, we really need the ipAddress to be autodetected by the installer > (possibly by running "ipconfig" and grabbing it out of the results - > although there must be a better way), even the Linux installer > autodetects the node's IP address now :-) Some debate on this please.... We could have the setup script try to detect the current IP, although the "dynamic hostname" (which might be the most used thing for ADSL/cable modem) would be preferable. >> * 'transient' checkbox relocated to front 'Normal' tab, and changed to a >> pair of mutually-exclusive checkboxes, reading 'transient' and 'node runs >> 24/7' >> > Cool.

So, should I really set as default non-transient? I was no too sure, most Win users will be still on short term dialups, I guess. The announcement delay is by default 5000 (milliseconds) IIRC, so that is not too much.
