Hi Larry,

The last time I had such an issue was at a customer site where his
network was just a mess. Certain machines would only talk to certain other
machines and nobody got along together. I plugged in my FC23 direct install
stick and ran Auto Scan. The issue showed up like a sore thumb. He had
changed Internet provider and had not removed the old router from
the network. Both were in parallel with his DSL modem. He had two DHCP 
servers
on different networks (192.168.254.0/24 and 192.168.1.0/24). All the devices
showed with Autoscan with their IP addresses. Autoscan is very, very useful
in such situations.

But AutoScan is abandoned and no longer works in Fedora 24 (did in 23)
and since what goes on it Fedora, unlike Vegas, eventually winds up
in RHEL, it is unknown how much longer that will be the case. And it
starts to become an issue when you bear in mind that the "double edged"
sword of RHEL is before a real deal killer with SL 7.2 unable
to consistently recognize hard drives on C236 chipsets using RSTe
(FC24 does though) making EL 7.2 USELESS on a new server. (That nasty
bug cost me about 1000 U$D to correct.)

I reported it over on:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1353423

But, I ramble ...  (1000 U$D !!!!!    AAAAAHHHHHH !!!!)

Printers that default to fixed IP's that haven't had IP's
assigned to them yet, etc..  Power hits can be fun!

Thank you for the help!
