Ahhh ... I had created a ozonez.com redirect addy for it ... I put that in my hosts table on the MS machine ... and it works fine now (see below) 192.168.1.19 www.mysite.ozonez.com (not the real addy) But, I tried putting in the IP addy in the hosts table like shown below and it did not work. 192.168.1.19 63.98.3.64:8080 Does the hosts table not like to redirect for IP addies rather than names? Just curious so I can learn why it works the way it does.

I bow to your mad ASCII skillz! ;) > I have put the 63.98.3.64 into my Hosts and Lmhosts files on the windows Other way - you want to put in hosts: 192.168.1.19 www.yourserver.com on all of the internal machines that you want this to work for. _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota tclug-list at mn-linux.org http://mailman.mn-linux.org/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list
