Make sure you #define SUBNET in common/config.h when you're compiling nntp. At our site, we have lots of FastPath boxes giving dynamically assigned IP numbers to Macintoshes and they can read news via The News from the nntp server without any problems. -- Eiji Hirai @ Mathematics Dept., Swarthmore College, Swarthmore, PA, USA hirai@cs.swarthmore.edu hirai@swarthmr.bitnet uunet!hirai%cs.swarthmore.edu Copyright 1991 by Eiji Hirai.
