Abstract
Automatic network configuration of a device including receiving a packet and selecting a network address in dependence upon a network address of the packet. In typical embodiments, receiving a packet also includes determining whether the received packet is an ARP query. If the received packet is an ARP query, selecting a network address in dependence upon a network address of the packet may include selecting a possible network address similar to the network address of the source of the packet; and sending an ARP query for the selected possible network address. If an ARP response is returned for the ARP query, embodiments may include selecting another possible network address similar to the network address of the source of the packet. If no ARP response is returned for the ARP query, embodiments may include accepting the possible network address as a network address for the device.
