This might work in an enviroment that you know what's going on, but if you are connecting to one of these big networks who knows what goes on and what will happen if you try to asign an IP. Also who's to say that the IP you're gona use is not already used by another user on that network and it will drop him/her off. Now we don't want that, or do we? ;) -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
