--------------------------------------------------------------------- NEW 24504 Personal Web Sharing: Uploading Files To The Host
We would like to setup the Personal Web Sharing host to allow clients to upload data to the host using a web browser. I have found instructions for how to set up the host, but not the client. Is a CGI necessary to perform this function?

--------------------------------------------------------------------- NEW 22217 LaserWriter 12/640: IP Address Reads 0.0.0.0
My LaserWriter 12/640 printer's Startup Page reads that it has an IP address of 0.0.0.0 even though I've configured it via ping to have an IP address, and I can print to it over TCP/IP. Why does the Startup Page not show an IP address?

--------------------------------------------------------------------- NEW 22218 LaserWriter 12/640 & Stealing an IP Address
Can a LaserWriter 12/640 steal and attempt to use an IP address assigned to another node? I've heard one unconfirmed report suggesting this occurred, that a LaserWriter 12/640 acquired the address of another device, even though it was never assigned an IP address nor was being printed to over IP.
