As I understand it, zeroconf is sposed to be to linux what netbeui is to windoze or what appletalk is to macs.
A quick google search shows that is the case. http://www.zeroconf.org/ bascially, when it works, you plug a few mandrake machines into a hub, and they allocate themselves and allow networking with no config work. I don't know if i like it, but i see the reason for it. (having said that, I always setup my network by hand, editing the files to suit.. so I have no need to use it.) rgds Franki htmlfixit.com >-----Original Message----- >From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Jim C >Sent: Thursday, 21 August 2003 4:22 AM >To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >Subject: Re: [expert] resolv.conf > > > >>Just a quick note on this..
