So, all of those 'puters are than electrically connected ?  In that case,
how does that stop a 'puter from one "subnet" to try to talk to a 'puter of
another "subnet" ?   It just needs to stop or bypass its default gateway,
and away it goes !

Which is pretty-much exactly why I maintain an electrical seperation for my
subnets.

Thanks for the suggestion though.
