And know your external IP address, which can change at times, although cable and dsl leases tend to be very long, and are mostly static, especially if you never reboot your cable/dsl modem. If you can walk your husband through finding your external IP address if it changes, this will work, otherwise a service like dyndns will let you have a fixed ip name that's mapped to your real address at all times. -- Bruce Johnson University of Arizona College of Pharmacy Information Technology Group Institutions do not have opinions, merely customs -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
