A valid question is "what is the IP address of 'me'?" What is the (an!) IP address of the host that I am currently running on?
Independent of any remote hosts or connections.

Else how could it connect without the IP address somehow? 2) Why isn't the remote application content with the host/domain name (since IP addresses _can_ change)? 3) Why isn't the remote application using DNS (via nslookup or other means) to get the IP address? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
