Follow-on to my previous question: Portable PC's now can use Xircom adapter (allegedly) to do PC-NFS and good things like that. Same problem: how do you deal with the fact that people may want to plug them into various different subnets ? Right now, my department has 5 luggable/laptop PC's. Should we equip them with Ethernet, do I have to give up 5 addresses on each subnet, to cover all possibilities ? That chews up addresses in a hurry !
