That "somewhere" is RfC 1918 and it refers to 192.168.*.*. These addresses are never to be routed anywhere. >and >hence can be used unofficially, like on my machine at home. You only can use RfC1918 addresses with machines that are on the same physical network since these addresses won't pass any properly configured router. So accessing your machine at home that has an RfC1918 address from work will most probably not work. Greetings Marc -- -------------------------------------- !!
