    1) You set up a Sun with a new OS, say, 4.1.1

    2) You have an ethernet adapter all hooked up, so your Sun is physically
       on the network

    3) Now, does anyone know of a way where the new Sun could "grab" internet
       numbers (192.9.205.40, etc) of one of its neighbors?  Could etherfind
       possibly help?

You may be interested in the lastest SunOS 4.1.1 revision b.

It is supposed to include some automatic network configuration routines
which make it easy to configure a "fresh" sun.  I believe it is similar to
the interface on the old 386i's.  where you could just plug a new machine
into the network and have it figure out who it is / should be.
