I don't want a permanent change. If no DHCP, I want zeroconf. If DHCP use it. This option does not seem to be available.
Oh, I've never seen a case where you could have a "fall back" position.
This is what Windoz has always done! M$ is the author of the zeroconf B-class network and how to compute your address; they even patented it and made it available to the workgroup. I worked in that IETF group long ago.
The idea of zeroconf was to get local networking working automagically when nothing exists to provide routeable addressing. The whole point of 'zeroconf'. Of course this lead into discovering your devices on the network and adopting the Bounjour Apple work.
Well, I should have said I've not seen that in Linux. And I don't do windows. :-)
If I go back far enough with my linux testing, I remember zeroconf
working. Or at least I think so; am going back quite a while. Probably
before adding avahi.
