Oooh.. You would have to point that out. Somewhere about 3 months after I got _this_ laptop, it occurred to me that I was really supposed to report the MAC to the network centre, so that they could do that. Of course, I never got around to it. Now, I know they'll appreciate knowing about the unofficial DHCP server, but they'll still slap my wrists for not telling them about the new MAC address :-( -- derek -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
