The 11.x.x.x network belongs to the Department of Defense. Be sure to use only number allocated for private use. Thats the complete 10.x.x.x, 17.16.x.x to 17.31.255.255 and 192.168.x.x. Using addresses outside the private address space can mislead you when routers take the date elsewhere. -- Bill Vermillion - bv @ wjv . com
