The trick to obtaining your IP address is to read an external page that gives you your ip address. I have one setup at http://www.compkarori.com/oracle.shtml that I used for this purpose. You can use it if you wish. Just parse out the text between <IPAddress> and </IPAddress> ------- Regards, Graham Chiu gchiu<at>compkarori.co.nz http://www.compkarori.com/dynamo - The Homebuilt Dynamo http://www.compkarori.com/dbase - The dBase bulletin
