Prompted by a recent discussion on the T60/T61 eCS list and via PM, I am wondering if anyone has any real experience using bogus addresses...er...Zeroconf...er...Automatic Private IP Addresses (in Micro$oft-speak)?
A couple Wikipedia links of interest, and the real meat and potatoes:
Personally, I stay away from these things, but I do know some Mac users who participate in wireless peer networks and who do use them successfully. Naturally, the IPv6 implementation doesn't have much use for us at this point in time (as OS/2 does not ahve an IPv6-aware IP stack!), but XWLAN does have the ability to use them and eCS 2.0 RC4 seems to have an interesting entry in SETUP.CMD called "llaecs" (see http://ewiki.ecomstation.nl/ecomstation20rc4whatsnew ).
TIA
