That right. I didn't realize until after I clicked `send' that i put
127.0.0.1 there, I did mean 192.168.0.1, but didn't remember that
particular number at the time. I'll use 192.168.0.1 for the server,
then 192.168.0.11 and 192.168.0.12 for the hosts.

Precisely.

Hmmmm.... Actually, it would be nice if y'all do drop in and do it all
for me, but I'd just as soon everyone just guide me and I'll do all the
configuring myself, so that I get familiar with what's what. That way,
once it's done, should there be a problem later on, I'll have an idea
where to look. I would just like some guidance from folks that have been
there before me, so as to prevent getting into common mistakes
(particularly in regards to security.) Also, books can be loaded with
so many obtuse examples and chit-chat- that I get confused on just what
I _need_ to do, and what I need to ignore.
I did receivee another, longer, letter from someone else with
helpfull comments, but I'll have to wait until I get some sleep before
continuing. It's 3:30 am here, so I'll get some rest and start fresh
`tomorow'. By then I may also have a few more helpfull answers, and
every little bit will help!
