That's right. :) If you really don't know any network adresses this is not the right method and I really don't know how to do it correctly. Is it possible to physicaly isolate the dhcp-server? Then you can connect only one client to it, and the broadcast should work. cu lukas -- ** PGP-key available on keyserver pgp.mit.edu ** Please don't sign your public mail unless your PGP-key is available for everyone!
