Helen,

As a matter of interest, can you explain this in more detail? One of the
things that irritated me (using classic) was that I couldn't use the local
connection anymore, and had to specify the localhost IP (or, as you say,
edit the hosts file) It's not a big deal for me, so I have never worried
about it, but it would be nice to know why.

Regards

Tim
