As always, the RFCs contain > all the gory details. yes, i know this too. last night was late and i need this info today since i have to talk about it to people. please excuse my asking if i could have found the info myself. i did try a little bit of web search... anyway, i am stupid, because i knew this difference - that bootp does not include dynamic. it was just too much in my head last night. *but*, you guys are the greatest, debian-user, even though often misused, is still one of the best assets one can have! (i run several dhcp servers without problems. last night, however, it wasn't clear how bootp fits into the picture.) many thanks! -- martin; (greetings from the heart of the sun.) \____ echo mailto: !#^."<*>"|tr "<*> mailto:"; net@madduck XP is NT with eXtra Problems.
