Subject:	SCOUG-Programming: Feb. meeting on TCP/IP - DNS, DHCP

Content Type: text/plain

And if DNS falls under TCP/IP (it might be UDP, can't remember) I'd like
to know how to talk to a DNS server *and* how to _be_ a DNS server. (I
shelved a project a while back because I couldn't figure out how to do
this.)

And if you don't have enough on TCP/IP to fill the time slot I'd sure
like to know more about DHCP (I've read all the RFC's but don't know how
to construct and send the packets). And then I'd sure like to know more
about BOOTP and its brethren (I read _one_ of the RFCs). Neither DHCP
nor BOOTP are TCP/IP iirc.

And if all of that doesn't fill up the 90-minute time slot I'd sure like
to know how to write a network sniffer (which also doesn't have anything
to do with TCP/IP). And maybe a quick explanation of how to read
IPFormat's output (like where the heck is the time stamp which the
documentation says is supposed to be there) because I'd like to write a
(non-Rexx) program which will reformat IPFormat's output into
something that's not so Martian.

And Terry: I'd _especially_ like to study in preparation for your
presentation. What RFC's or other docs should I read beforehand?

And (Mr. SIG Leader) can the presentation be videotaped? Terry - can
your cute little Sony camera feed an NTSC video recorder, or can it feed
a computer that can record the presentation (we can cover the screen so
nobody sees what operating system it's running)? It would be really
nice to have the presentation on CD, and I think Steven Levine has some
OS/2-based video editing software in case the show needs a couple of
edits. Good practice project for Warp Expo West 2001 (hint hint).
