If you connect to the web interface from a host configured for DHCP to start the backup, I think it will try the currently-connected address in addition to the ranges you set in $Conf{DHCPAddressRanges. I can't find that in a quick glance through the docs,but I think I've seen it happen. -- Les Mikesell lesmikes...@gmail.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Symantec Endpoint Protection 12 positioned as A LEADER in The Forrester Wave(TM): Endpoint Security, Q1 2013 and "remains a good choice" in the endpoint security space.
