might be good to give an example in an internal network with the subnet 192.168.1.0/24 the server you are trying to connect to got the ip 192.168.1.21 then you would do something like this 192.168.1.21 server 192.168.1.49 workstation _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
