Thanks so much for your response - I am running windows server 2008. So if I am to understand what I have read in other places, I can install one of these clients and restrict it to an IP/Domain range? If so, can you recommend a good one for Windows? -- muchgooder ------------------------------------------------------------------------ muchgooder's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=40100 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=81495 _______________________________________________ Radio mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
