BootP can be set to assign a "range" of one IP to a specific MAC address. (MAC = Media Access Controller.) Then you can manually set the MacTCP IP address to the same one as the BootP server has "assigned". As far as the BootP server is concerned, it's in control. I think OT-Tool from www.neon.com will tell you the MAC address of your Mac. It's supposed to be hard coded into every network adapter and other devices that attach to a LAN and should be unique for every device. ===== "When you are wrestling for possession of a sword, the man with the handle always wins."
