How much does this book cost?

No, read what I said; It doesn't care. SLiRP performs all network actions on the host, as the host, it just repackages the data it receives and sends it down the wire to the SLIP client, and takes SLIP packets from the client and reperforms tha action as though coming from the host. The actual IP number used by the client is irrelevant, it never gets used anywhere for anything other than by SLiRP to send packets back to the client. I'd suggest reading the documentation for SLiRP if I'm not making sense, I think it does a much better job 8) > -Vince- vince@kbrown.oldcampus.yale.edu - GUS Mailing Lists Admin -- ]] Mike Smith, Software Engineer msmith@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] Genesis Software genesis@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] High-speed data acquisition and [[ ]] realtime instrument control (ph/fax) +61-8-267-3039 [[ ]] My car has "demand start" - Terry Lambert [[
