Thanks for the reply :) Yes I was figured that was the problem but I wanted to make sure that was it. I did get it working like Ariel suggested. (where ip='192.168.1.1') That worked. I just did a separate search for the IP's. Thanks again for all your help. -- Best regards, ~WILL~ Key: http://code-heads.com/keys/ch1.asc Key: http://code-heads.com/keys/ch2.asc Linux Commands: http://code-heads.com/commands Linux Registered User: 406084 (http://counter.li.org/)
