I try to explain, i'm on unix. it is an intranet program, so everybody who are going to use this program are behind the same firewall than me + the prog run on server. I allow people do access some data asking for their ip, the ip is still the same, but somebody can change the ip on their computer and access the program. if I understand I can double check by knowing from where the ip is coming because the guy who changed his ip on is computer still as to go throught another server, so by reading the server name I can block this address. but getservbyname doesn't seem to be the function to do it and there is no explanation on the internet about this function and nothing about any function coming from http://www.perldoc.com/perl5.6/pod/perlfunc.html Fetching network info Thank you for your help I don't have any code, it still an idea Pierre _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
