      * An ongoing debate between Ed Vance and All rages on ...               EV> Usually this XP MCE SP3 pc gets an IP Address of 192.168.1.100 and        EV> the Wallwatcher and Getlog programs work just fine.        EV> The other day the IP Address changed to 192.168.1.101 and Wallwatcher        EV> and Getlog hasn't wanted to work since.              When I need a static IP address for a local node I use the Router config to       set up DHCP Reservation for that node. Select it when it's set CORRECTLY and       Reserve it that way. Works for me (matches IP to MAC address)              --       Guardien Fide :^)               Ben aka cMech Web: http://cmech.dynip.com        Email: fido4cmech(at)lusfiber.net        Home page: http://cmech.dynip.com/homepage/        WildCat!
