There was nothing I read in The Bat Networking that referred to sharing. Ok, wait now, sorta, though hard to follow. Well, I think it just passes from server to client, and that is it. The basic function it was providing, it said: 'The Bat! can work either as a stand-alone program or as a replacement for a mail (POP/SMTP) server within a local network (e.g. Windows Workgroup, Windows NT Domain or Novell Netware) at the same time as providing the client part. There are three network modes in which The Bat! can function: stand-alone (TCP/IP Workstation), server (TCP/IP or Dial-Out Server )or client (Non-TCP/IP Workstation).' And later I read this part: 'TCP/IP or Dial-out Server: the server mode It is possible that client computers in a local network have no access to the Internet or that there are some restrictions in force that prevent these computers from using mail transfer protocols. In order to provide users of such machines with E-Mail exchange facilities within the Internet and/or the corporate network, there must be a mail (POP/SMTP) server within the workgroup or domain.' With no connection to the Internet, there is no connection, this made no sense to have a connection when there was none. The whole purpose of this particular setup seems to be encapsulated above, and therefore very hard to fathom why to use that. -- Best regards, Adam ________________________________________________________ Current Ver: 1.61 FAQ : http://faq.thebat.dutaint.com Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives : http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com Moderators : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] TBTech List: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Bug Reports: https://www.ritlabs.com/bt/
