Hi Steven, It all had to do with configuring the network from Python IDLE, aliter: It all had to do with Python. I could have done it, the bypasssing. But I couldn't have learned anything if I hadn't fought with the problem, of course it was Shashank Singh from this group who helped me through. Bypassing is always not good, atleast for me and therefore I came to seek the help of you all. Thanks Steven in reading and replying to my problem. -- Adil -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
