It really depends on the app. It can be either client or server, depending. > How does this work if my router is at the center of > my little network and > also acts as the IP address server ? Define "center" of your little network. Know that one box can be running the dhcpd (DHCP daemon, where a daemon is a server process running in the background) and serving up IP addresses from a pool of dummy IP addresses (192.168.x.y, 192.168.x+1.y+1,...) that only you are using. Another box or device can be acting as your router running the gated (gate daemon) and providing routing functions between your little network (192.168.x.0) and another network, like the Internet. Keep plugging away at it, Bart. You will get it. We were all there once too. John Hebert __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
