| Open Transport does not support MacTCP "dynamic" addressing. MacTCP dynamic mode addressing was based on an Apple-proprietary extension to TCP/IP protocols. It applied the address negotiation and assigment rules used by the AppleTalk protocols to TCP/IP networks, making it very easy to set up Macintosh-only stand alone TCP/IP networks. Use of this dynamic addressing method in other scenarios, however, could create additional work for a network administrator. The Internet community (IETF) has since developed DHCP, a multi-vendor standard for the dynamic assignment of IP addressed. Open Transport supports the industry standard DHCP.

If I have a machine with multiple IPs, and am using DHCP to retrieve network configuration from the DHCP server running on my NetMAX machine, only the first IP is received from the DHCP server.
