There are machines that are not permanently connected to the internet and they can NOT just use any IP (except range 127.0.0.0/8) just because they connect to different networks where any other IP could cause a problem. This will be different with IPv6, but it is the current status of IPv4. -- Matus UHLAR - fantomas, [EMAIL PROTECTED] ; http://www.fantomas.sk/ Warning: I wish NOT to receive e-mail advertising to this address.
