Hi, Quarkman,

I regularly change my laptop IP address. In office, it's assigned by DHCP server. But at home if I need to transfer some files to my home computer, the easiest way is to manually enter an IP and a netmask such that it and the home PC are in the same subnet, then I simply map drives. I've never changed the domain. Not sure if that's possible.

I think Metalink has an article suggesting installing Microsoft Loopback service to work around the 9iAS install problem on a DHCP client. Still not officially supported.
