Maybe I'm missing something... but when I start this way I am currently under the impression that I have no way to obtain an automatic IP address. DHCP away from the host machine certainly does not work. Am I wrong? Can I obtain an automatic IP via DHCP or some other means? >> But having a bridge on a laptop is problematic.

And running a bridge isn't an heavy (resource-wise) task at all. By "loaded" I meant "initialized" and not "heavily resourced". Poor choice of words sorry. Bridges make defining hotplug etc harder than just defining them for stand alone interfaces. Nic ------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
