Dear all,
I would like to know how to configure a network without using DHCP
server. Can I use Zeroconfig? If yes, will it support all the OS (
windows, Mac, Linux )? If yes, does windows have any built in function
for zeroconfig? or do we have to instal a seperate software for this
zeroconfig? Is there any ip range to be considered for this
zeroconfig? or is there any other model available to configure a
network without using the DHCP server? All opinoins are welcome,
Thanks,
Antony

If you don't want to use DHCP for some reason, assign static addresses. You
don't want to try relying on APIPA (autoconfigured addresses). Frankly, I'd
simply use DHCP - I see absolutely no downside to it. What exactly is your
goal?
