I tried to get my ip address but the information I got seemed to be only = valid for the local machine. I have a router to which all of my = computers are connected so I thought my addresses should be on a = 192.168.1 subnetwork but the only addresses I saw were on a 127.0 = subnetwork. I used to know how to get this information for my windows box but I have = recycled a large number of brain cells since then and don't even = remember how to do that right now. Would I be able to just use a = hostname? As a footnote, I have given hostnames of trashcan, paperweight = and boatanchor to my computers. So what I am trying to do is connect my = paperweight to my trashcan, grin. As mentioned in the discussions earlier, I found a teraterm program and = thought I was telling it the right stuff but the closest I got was a = "connection refused" message from one address. All other guesses timed = out. Thanks much. Bruce Noblick=20
