Thanks for the tip, Dar and all my apologies to All. It seems i didn't 
read the begining of this thread before speaking in the box... The 
"Rendez-Vous/ZeroConf" features are probably usables there, too. At 
least under MacOS X and Linux (i don't know about Windows), it's a way 
to use them to catch the diffrent IP address the computer is binded to.
