I do have that machine e-mail address ( of my friend) but I can't telnet it. My friend work for a major firm which required that machine to go through a *.com ( gateway ? ) before the mail reached me. Here is the question for all you wizer out there 1. Is there a way I can look up the machine node's name under telnet ? I would like to see what in the world my machine is connected to. 2. Is there a way my friend could do in his machine to find out his internet address number in order for me to telnet to his machine. Thanks you guys in advance for your time and help..... yintien@grasp.cis.upenn.edu
