Apparently Lantastic does support TCP\IP now (I am no expert). I
think theeir machines are fairly up to date, normally we get people to
install I.E 5.5 as that updates lots of system Dlls etc. Would this
update them to Winsock 2.0?

I have seen the Hosts file mentioned elsewhere, what should I put in
it? Currently it has 127.0.0.1 LocalHost.

Sorry if my email looks funny, I have had to reply from the web
interface as this list does not seem to be sending me any emails yet
