G'day,

I have checked out all the doc's I could find and haven't found a way
to deal with dynamically allocated IP addresses on an ethernet LAN.

I could only find ref's to dynamic IP in the context of dialup
PPP/SLIP.

The network is a Novell 3.12 LAN and IP addresses are allocated on
demand (by firing up winsock) from a bootp server.  This server holds
the bootp table, which does have some static IP numbers for printers
and a couple of Unix boxes.

The machine in question will be basically used like a machine on
dialup PPP, ie will rarely be logged into from other machines, but
will be used to access the Internet and central unix systems.

Can this be done ?  Or do I have to fiddle around on the bootp server
?  I'd rather not allocate fixed IP numbers if possible.

Any assistance gratefully received. (e-mail preferred..newsgroup
access fluctuates!)
