This is just a thought off the top of my head: try installing the MS loopback network device. Maybe you can then tell one of the servers to serve from that one (assuming they can be told to bind to a special address). I forget the details but I think you can give the loopback one of the IP addresses reserved for local use. Note: MS has drivers for some sort of a special network device that just loops the connections back to the computer itself; the loop back has an UNC name of itself. This is not the 127.0.0.1 loopback address. I don't know the specifics, I just installed it to install OpenAFS. I think it somehow makes the computer look like a server onto itself. I don't have access to my W2K box right now, but you can search on google for "openafs loopback windows" and pick the first article that comes by (from openafs.org). //lat -- Try not to become a man of success but rather try to become a man of value. --Albert Einstein -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
