Sure, but IPv6 isn't IPv4. The whole "stateless address" config thing means that, in theory, every node can automagically configure itself with a globally unique IP address without the need for DHCP at all. If you're a member of that church, DHCP just becomes a method for nodes to discover things like DNS and mail servers. There's no reason I'm aware of that should have to be tied to a manually configured address. -- Ben ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
