No private IP's are engraved in stone, esp a /24. How many days does it take you to reconfigure the hosts to connect to the shared resources - which is what I believe would make you say "there is no way either end can change its range"? It's a /24 and shared resources can be accessed by running an internal DNS server, for crying out loud! -- Best regards, Odhiambo WASHINGTON, Nairobi,KE +254733744121/+254722743223 "I can't hear you -- I'm using the scrambler."
