FWIW, I've tried that one, and it doesn't work here. Something to do with ports, I think, and hence something I don't understand.
Ports, well that *is* another story. You may see them as a representation of certain services (!Boot.Resources.!Internet.files.Services keeps a list of these for you and the IP stack to look at). You may as well see them as extensions in a telephone system where theIP address is the general number, that say, your insurance company has got and the port is the extension where your personal insurance agent
may be reached. Regards -- Rainer Schubert mailto:iyonix@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx Situs vilate in esset avernet ---To alter your preferences or leave the group, visit //www.freelists.org/list/iyonix-support
