Hi bascule. Yes, I believe that you would have to call it, as you say, "a
fiction".
I can ping the machines anyway, so that:
ping darkforce
ping darkforce.com
ping 192.168.0.1
all work. Just seemed handier, thats all. I did want to have the IP address
in numerical form, because from what I've read, that can be found when a lot
of other stuff isn't working.
Do you think this would cause a problem somewhere? It doesn't seem to have so
far.
Thanks for all your advice!
