Hi Buddy,

  Our network is private meaning I don't have a
registered DNS name for it on the net. I suppose I have
to register one in order for any client to see our net,
correct? Is it possible to use a name like this:
www.exch.companyname.com ? can I register this name
pattern?

Thanks for all your help Buddy

JJ
