Abstract
The present invention provides for a system for automatically determining a network address. A new node starting on the network will solicit addresses from other nodes on the subnet. The addresses received are stored in a database. The address stored in the database will be reviewed in order to determine a subnet mask. The new node will choose a host number, based on the subnet mask, that is unique among the addresses in the database: The chosen unique host number is combined with the subnet number to form the new node's network address. One example of a network address is an IP version 4 address.
