I have lots of Mac behind Kbox with no HD and students is given a disk to access AFP servers. To be able to use any TCP stuff, I am to include mac TCP into each floppy. The problem is, every time the students move from one zone or another, they have to configure their MacTCP using the control panel by choosing the zone there are in and reboot the Mac and then run their mactcp dependent programs. This is not acceptable to me since the Mac already know what zone it is in. I have read in the news that some one did it and I am trying to get the same result but fail. I cant figure out how it is done since macTCP is zone dependent. In other words, you move from one location to another, you have to reconfigure your MacTCP to that zone. All the Macs are behind ddp/ip gateway (Kbox)and their IPs are assigned dynamically. The MacTCP is set to SERVER. Any help you could provide will be appreciated. Thanks Hanz Makmur
