Hello, I am running website on windows Xp using IIS, I would like to know if when I request a page from the internet (I mean a page that is actually on my hard drive) does Xp recognize that the IP address of the website is the same as the local address and therefore request the file directly from the hard drive, or does it actually send the request to it's own self via internet and then send the file to internet and download it back (u know like a stupid loop). Well I kinda noticed that when I go to the website when I am on my computer it takes much less time to load than if u visit the site from any other computer connected to the internet...(I am asking this 'cos I want to know if I waste bandwidth when I visit my own site or not) ================================== To Unsubscribe, set digest or vacation mode or view archives use the below link. http://thethin.net/winxplist.cfm
