 I gave it a try and was not able to get it to take the redirect.  I got
 in to help and did every thing I could to try and get it to work.
 Error I received was that it could not find the other computer.  In the
 same DOS window after it could not find the other computer I did a ping
 and it found the computer that way.  I tried using the computer name as
 well as the IP address of the other computer but could not get a
 connection.
