Our school is next door to a NASA facility. They have a T1 connection there. We asked them earlier if we could use there connection for a small internet server. They said yes. However, about a month later, once we are ready, they said that they cannot 'cuz anything going through their network would be representitive of NASA? Is this possible? I though that they woulod assign us a subnet, and map it through directly to use. That way, say, our web server, would have a URL like http://www.homestudy.edu, not http://www.homestudy.nasa.gov like they apparently are thinking. Wouldn;t we go through the InterNIC for our addresses? Thanks!!! Jesse Brown
