ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a system for automatic detection and configuration of network parameters. The system includes a first computer system for communicating to a network and at least a second computer system for providing network information. The first computer system queries the network and receives network information from the at least a second computer system before a network identification has been established for the first computer system. The system further includes a storage for storing at least one configuration associated with a network interface. The first computer system configures the network interface based upon the network information received from the at least a second computer system. Also, the first computer system may configure the network interface by determining a network identification associated with the network information and matching the at least one configuration with the network identification.
