I really ought to learn more about networking! I guess I never really had the desire to. Until recently, I have never had more than one computer at home. At work I just programmed, delegating all such tasks to the guy with the "Network Administrator" tag on his desk :)

I am not. I can use the connection with only one computer at a time. That was a horrible mistranslation from my brain to the keyboard. I clarified that in another of my posts to Mark (the other Mark :) ).

Thank you for your help.
