'Automatically detect settings'

jim5000 · 6 Sep 2007 at 00:51

If every device connected to the internet (including routers and such) was set to automatically detect settings, would the internet work?

The question makes no sense. What kind of routers this side of crappy little home ones even have an autodetect option? Do you propose we set up a WORLD DHCP server and let everyone work off that?

auto setting are only to help aid people without knowledge. If everything used auto then everything would be very inefficient.

Divide by zero.
