ok, now i hate seeing free apps/desktop systems that just copy windows, and i dislike even more the idea that windows is a good standard to follow, but i do have to disagree with you on this point. windows doesn't hide the gateway from you, it's there right under netmask. lots of newbies use windows. i'd go so far as to say many people reading this list probably started on windows. have any of us "freaked out and ran away"? as far as the network class thing, lets just make sure it's possible to have classless subnets, too. -- Jacob Kuntz underworld.net/~jake [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
