Hello, Firstly let me introduce myself as a B. Tech Computer Science and Engineering student at University of Mauritius. For my final year, I have to do a project namely:
'Design and Implementation of a Dynamic Domain Name Server for host configuration on a LAN.' If, for e. g., a new server joins the LAN, the Domain Name Server automatically updates a lookup table automatically. TCP/IP protocol is being used to implement. We are planning to proceed as follows: As soon as a new server joins the network, it broadcast its ethernet address. When the name server gets the message then sends a packet using the ethernet address to the server and gives it a name and an IP address. Then the name server pings the new server to see if everything is OK. I shall be much grateful how can I find the said new server using ethernet address? Please send me some more information on the netbeui protocol. Thank you for your attention Osman ------------------------------------- E-mail: <Osman Peermamode>[EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: 08/07/96 Time: 19:16:31 -------------------------------------
