Yes, It should have been 198.168.2.0/24.  The public IP has a 198.60.X.X
address.

The MS Admin says that it is only running W 2003 Server.

That is what I have been trying to do.  I do not see any real clue as what
is sending it.

About no further NetWare development and what appeared to be lack of
direction.  They bought the MS line about Novell abandoning Netware.  I
did not really listen to all their rantings.  I feel lucky to have gotten
a SUSE Linux in to replace the UnixWare box.  The MS reps... have been
really lobbying them.  Lucky my Reputation and things I provide convinced
them to not use MS for their web, email, and business presence.  They are
using Interchange, combined with php for their online book store.

Thanks,
