I'm showing my age now. The problem arose that NICS sometimes
have duplicate MAC addresses from different and sometimes the same
manufactures. Whether or not that problem still exists???<br>

As for the Internet working without the DNS, it is true
when you refer to IPv6, not IPv4.<br>
><br>
<br>
<br>
</div>
the Internet worked before DNS and I expect it would work
without it, thought there would need to be some set of
mechanisms for turning structured human intelligible names
into the structured digit based names commonly referred to
as numbers (aka addresses).<br>
<br>
it is true as we still don't know how to route on urls, we
still need a mechanism to translate between the names we
humans are comfortable with and the names that the software
is designed for.<br>
<br>
not sure why this is not the case for IPv6 as well.<br>
