Typing MAC addresses takes much time and will lead to typos. Also that does not scale if you have a cluster with hundreds of nodes. It's better to use the hint in the manual using tcpdump -qte Then the user has only to assign the AMC addresses to hostnames and IP addresses. The dissatvantage with such a GUI tool is, that they don;t work in all kind of environment. What if I;m using NIS or LDAP ? -- Thomas
