 Ahem... it's a LAN, Rod. A two-computer L-A-N.

 But that's the beauty about an education in Theory, you can work
things out without actually being there. Now I'm there... plugging in
cables and stuff (and Im good at that too). Us engineers go the whole
ten yards: theory, practice, and we work out things that don't even
exist yet... like an Internet that might work, properly - one designed
for the 21st Century not the one we use, designed by uniwankers in
the 60's. 

RG> You've blown your credibility Bob.

 Have you actually *read* any of the specifications? I'd say not, if
you think it makes sense...

 The document defining the "fully qualified" address runs to fifty
pages when even an illiterate could have done it in two sentences
(with a little drawing perhaps). Uniwankers! You gotta love 'em (but
don't let them marry into the family).

 I'm pretty sure that LAN of two computers is only exposed to one or
two viruses. Maybe not even that many, if I wash my hands first.

 ROFL! What a dickhead you are, Rod!

> but it keeps asking me for a NT Domain.

RG> Hint. NT Domain != Internet.

 Hint: no NT domains = LAN.

 BTW, my mention of the Northern Territory was a joke, Joyce.

 Get it? NT domain - Northern Territory... Oh, well. What can I
expect of someone with his head up his arse?

Regards,
Bob
