This has nothing to do with the "server" and "domain" prompts on the PK, which is what Leslie was asking about.
Leslie, the server is the name of the computer you want the PK to see. The domain is the name of the network where the computer is. Let me know if this doesn't make sense and I'll try again.

Parsons Sent: Wednesday, April 06, 2005 6:44 AM To: Braillenote List Subject: [Braillenote] Domain vs Server Hi all, Leslie, you are talking about two separate things here. A server is a computer which sends data. When you join an Internet Service Provider, (ISP), that ISP becomes your server. It gives you your mail and your web data, and so on. You can run servers on your computer like a web server so you can give out data to other computers. A domain is the name of your server, or sometimes the name you have chosen as your own "domain" or territory from where your mail comes and so on. Some people pay to have their own domain or territory. That domain is theirs, no one else can use that domain's name and it is unique to that person. Here is an example. My email address is [EMAIL PROTECTED] My domain is eznet, the territory from which I am sending my mail and where my web site is located. I am [EMAIL PROTECTED] I am akp, a citizen of domain eznet. The last "net" in my address indicates the type of territory eznet is. Eznet is a network. Com is a commercial site, edu is educational, biz is business, and so on. Hope this helps. Ann P. -- Ann K.
