OK, went to the "Control Panel" and "Network and Dial-up Connections."
Since I don't really have a "server" as such (just trying to do file sharing as in Mac lingo), it wouldn't let me put in a domain name. Complained something about DNS error. Oh, well, will keep chipping away and see what develops. Thanks. Ken -- MacNetwork is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
