XP defaults to dhcp - meaning MS has that button checked - but that assumes there is a dhcp server somewhere. On my XP machine I have a fixed address. You can change it in the network setup. Keith Antoine wrote: At 05:53 PM 19/07/2003 -0700, you wrote: On 07/19/03 17:19, Keith Antoine

Some 169.x.x.x number? Microsoft actually registered that range to allow for dynamic addresses without using a DHCP server, beyond the RFC 1918 addresses like 192.168 or 10.x.x.x. Self-selecting IP addresses. begin On Mon, 21 Jul 2003 09:16:12 -0400 Keith Antoine [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
