Thanks to everyone who responded to this question. I'm still trying to digest all the information.
Meanwhile, I discovered that by changing the destination ip address in my main computer to the one that ifconfig showed it to be in the remote computer to which I was trying to scp some files, that did not work. So, after much fooling around, I ended up rebooting the destination computer and lo and behold the ip address became restored to what it had previously been and everything worked. It all remains a great mystery to me ... but everything now works again. --------------------------------------------------- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
