I realize that I was ambiguous there - LANWatch does not use a name server and protocol, which I'd talked about earlier in the message; but it uses a local host table to do the translation. I don't want to be propogating misinformation here... - john romkey USENET/UUCP: romkey@asylum.sf.ca.us Internet: romkey@ftp.com "Some people walk on water/Some people walk on broken glass/Some people walk round and round in their dreams/Some just keep falling down."
