Gentleman ... How would you explain how to do this? Say you are standing in front of a hub (switch/BNC/etc), you plug in your laptop and start to run some diags. How would you: 1) know what to set your ip to (you have no idea of what segment you are plugged into.) 2) configure your gateway? Is there a way one can configure his network blindly, maybe some tools to do a dump getting IPX/IP info?
