Well Bob, I'm a little lost then. My LAN setup is
isolated to only these 3 PCs via a five port switch and
CAT5 cables. So how did my Pro machine get in touch with
a DNS server to come up with 192.168. for MY network?
Before you just enlightened me with your reply, I had
always thought that 192.168. was another grouping made
possible by APIPA. Since the Pro machine gets the
internet via dialup modem, did it happen that way
somehow?? any thoughts? Wayne B.
