Klaus, thanks for the info and explanation... I did manage to get it
working. However, there's a few things you mentioned below that I did not do
and it still works. Also, I might add, the explanation you just pointed out
below should go into the user doc. I read through the networking section of
the user doc and it good BUT just the way you explain what should or should
not be configured from the host and the guess network adapter cleared things
up. If that could go in the doc with a little polish explanation it will not
leave users guessing.

Thanks for the HELP!!!

Joe
