I use Exceed, and a DHCP server automaticall allocates IP adresses . Each IP address is different each time.

How do I find out what the IP address is each time. Is there a command in UNIX to do it??

How do I set the DISPLAY when I have a different IP address each time??
 
You could try something like set DISPLAY `ifconfig eth0 |grep inet |cut -f2 -d " "` which should set your $DISPLAY to your current IP address. Then just add that to your .cshrc or .login script. Also, look in your Exceed documentation there IS a way to have Exceed define the display parameter automatically. d3funct

The software required `Windows 95 or better', so I installed Linux.
