Eric.

I'm open to anything.  I'll have a talk with the network guys about
it, but it will have to wait for another day.

I was sick all day yesterday, and thought I would tackle a nagging
inconvenience.

I'm feeling much better today and consequently don't feel nearly as
frisky or stupid.  ;)

thanks again to all who helped, when I get it figured out, i'll post my results.
