Re: finding out localhost :-P

You can goto like whatsmyip.com (or something similar) to get your ip and connect to it unless there's a proxy or something... http://www.liero-masters.host.sk/ip.php is another place, that I use as it only displays the IP, and nothing else... :p However, connecting to the domainname should work... So, check the settings... -- // DvDmanDT MSN: dvdmandt@hotmail.com Mail: dvdmandt@telia.com "Pag" <dante@mail.telepac.pt> skrev i meddelandet news:5.2.0.9.2.20030824045649.00b4ca38@mail.telepac.pt... > > Heres the problem.
