ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a network configuration and method where a first device that is unconfigured and connected to the network sends over the network a request for IP configuration information. Responsive to the request for IP configuration information from the first device, a second device that is configured for and connected to the network, responds with at least a portion of its IP configuration information. The at least a portion of the IP configuration of the second device is used to create IP configuration information for the first device.
