Well, I'll be adding 2 more machines to the network soon. Everything is on
a dial up modem though. :) I'm doing this mostly for file sharing, and
smooth movent of files from one box to another. The box that connects to
the internet is 192.168.1.1, and the other box that's behind it is
192.168.1.2. I'll give the next to boxen 192.168.1.3 and 192.168.1.4.
