Actually, I think Rendevous is a *little* overrated. Ever since Win98 started to assign private IP address (169.*) when it couldn't contact a DHCP server, it's still been possible to "view" other computer's files, as long as it was in the same subnet. I did the exact same thing about two month ago as a test and had no problems accessing files without IP configuration or DCHP server.
