MR> permit n - 172.16.0.21
 MR> The latter address is what I've assigned her machine.
one really important thing to note is that unless the above address has been 
explicitly assigned to her machine, there will likely be a conflict or 
problem somewhere...
what i do is to use the 192.168.0.* range of addresses for my internal TCP/IP 
network. there is also 10.0.3.* (may have the .0 and .3 backwards) and i'm 
thinking there is another range.
the thing about these ranges is that they _cannot_ travel thru the routeing 
equipment used on the internet. it's a math thing AFAIR. the point is that 
those addresses are reserved for internal network use and then you set up 
some kind of gateway or firewall for those machines to use to get out to the 
net.
if your 172.16 address above is part of the 3rd range i'm thinking of, please 
ignore this message and pass the salt ;-)
