I am not sure if the "central control" of domain names and networks are then working any more like what we saw from previous. If 1.0.0.0 is not in use why can 1.1.1.1 and 1.1.1.2 be used of someone? Or at least someone register domain name on address that is not in use/not allocated to him. I had one network floating around for some time and because of difficulties to connect to the internet it was designated to other company. Later on I was connected, and got all kinds of problems because of the others company use of the addresses, I was not informed that my use of the network was canceled. -- Þórður Ívarsson Thordur Ivarsson Rafeindavirki Electronic technician Norðurgötu 30 Nordurgotu 30 Box 309 Box 309 602 Akureyri 602 Akureyri Ísland Iceland --------------------------------------------- FreeBSD has good features, Some others are full of unwanted features! ---------------------------------------------
