Message-ID: <CpCBM8.oD@world.std.com> Organization: The World Public Access UNIX, Brookline, MA Date: Thu, 5 May 1994 17:37:19 GMT Lines: 9 This should be a fairly straight forward question. I'm currently running a TCP/IP network where the IP addresses of the hosts and clients will be changing several times in the next month or so. (Yes, we're moving sites...) :) Anyhow, what I want to do it set up /etc/ethers, or some such, and have the client machine query for its IP address based on the ethernet address. Is this pssible, and if so, couldn't someone let me know how to set it up? Thankx -Brian
