I guess I miscomunicated that in the email. Of course I understand I have to look up others in different Registrations. http://www.apnic.net/apnic-bin/whois.pl http://whois.nic.or.kr/english/index.html http://registro.br/cgi-bin/nicbr/whois?stkey=10401228-3776375531 And of course ARIN. A little bit of a PITA, but worth it ;) Chris ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: VM Ware With VMware you can run multiple operating systems on a single machine.
