No, this is war, man against machine!

Ah, but how would I learn ip masq and port forwarding then? But you are
saying that is what might be needed. Well, it is a start and I guess there
is a way to do it, and in your other post, it seems trying to have them all
on the same network was partly to fault.

I'm getting pretty good at bringing OSs back to life :)

Yeah, have read much, but without success, perhaps because of the strange
system. Seems a crossover box isn't all that popular nowadays.

Heh, if I do that, I'll put the extra NIC in the third puter and hook 'em
all up. Yeah, that's probably the way to go.

Thanks for all the info.
