Now, while writing this msg, that reply shows up here on this box. sigh incidently, to make it even more confusing, I'm gonna duck when I tell y'all this, but my ip connection is NOT bridged...but PPPoE, granted, normally there is no static ips w/a PPPoE connection but seeing that my ISP and I have been knowing each other and have been friends since before dirt. As a friend deal, he just guarantees me that it will be static. But really, this has nothing to do w/the problem at hand. thx y'all john rose -- Trust Everyone. Just make sure you brand your cattle.
