Hi folks, I was just wondering if there is any way to configure Fedora and/or RH9 to act a little like Windows. You see I configured my eth0 to automatically get IP address via DHCP. For Windows, if it is unable to get any IP, it automatically assigns it a 169.254.x.x address (known as APIPA, Automatic Private IP Address). I would love to know if this is possible with Fedora. This would be useful for whenever I want to connect to a Windows machine without the benefit of a DHCP, and without the headaches of having to restart the Win machine upon setting a static IP address. So, anything to install (ie zeroconf, etc.), or maybe a configuration file to at least allow an "alternate" IP address if I don't get one from a DHCP server? dex
