They are both on the same private subnet. The practical aspect of this is that I can remove my MP3 collection=20 from my Powerbook and just keep it on the FreeBSD server. If the FreeBSD machine were not behind a firewall, yes I could play my=20= iTunes collection anywhere on the internet (and I suppose with some=20 tweaking of my firewall, I still could) but that would be dealing with=20= much smaller bandwidth. If there were others on my subnet, yes, they too would be able to play=20= music from the same collection. TjL
